Most "AI MVPs" stop at Figma flats and dotted-line user flows.

I built a real one — design system, working frontend, live AI pipeline, published output — in days.

Kryscapes is a travel advisor's co-pilot. She records a voice note about a trip. The system writes a polished editorial guide — hotel block, affiliate items, SEO meta, social captions. She edits in place. Hits publish.

What's inside the case study: → PRD + DESIGN.md that scoped the build → Brand → Alias → Map token cascade in code → Three Supabase tables — narrow on purpose → AI pipeline with Zod-validated structured outputs and a deterministic fallback → Processing screen, draft review, published guide proof

You don't leave the sprint with a deck. You leave with a working artifact, the codebase, and a story you can use for pitching or fundraising.

Two ways to hire me: — AI Product Design Sprint · $2,400 — strategy, UX, Figma, prototype, AI workflow map — AI MVP Sprint · $6,500 — design sprint plus working MVP, database, AI pipeline, launch-ready handoff

AI creatives — but on-brand and true to the product ✨ A big part of our work at The Ash Design this year: AI visuals for e-commerce brands. Not "prompt → post", but generated scenes that are art-directed, retouched and designed into real campaigns. A few recent ones: → Curativa Bay (HOCl skincare): splash & bubble product scenes turned into website heroes → Sol d'Amore (lip cosmetics): product shots, an 8-post Instagram campaign and a Pink October campaign with AI model imagery → Wafaa (contracts platform): an educational IG series where AI was used only where it actually helped Biggest lesson: the product has to stay 100% real — shades, caps, textures. AI builds the scene, design does the selling. Open for new projects: AI product photos, models with your product, social & ad creatives. DM me 👋
