“That could be cool” turned out to be a pretty good career plan. This video is where it took me after 9 years.
I’d just started in motion design and wanted to play with interfaces. UI animation wasn’t much of a trend yet. I was curious what I could do with it.
One project led to another, and eventually I was making videos for SaaS and enterprise teams. The further I went, the more interesting it got. I started understanding the products behind those screens, finding the stories, knowing which details deserved attention.
All of that comes together in this video. It’s pretty cool to look at it and remember how casually the whole thing started.
Give your “that could be cool” idea a real shot. Mine had a lot more in it than I could see at the beginning.
Thanks for noticing that! Yeah, diving into different products has become a normal part of my work. I never imagined how wide the range could be. Literally, one day I’m working on a product for managing data centers, and the next on a financial management system for hospitals 😄

Before you add AI to your product, find the screen where your users already copy and paste.
That's usually where the real AI feature lives. Not a chatbot in the corner, but a step people already do by hand: summarising a ticket, drafting a reply, tagging an upload, pulling fields out of a PDF.
Here's the order I follow when a founder asks me to add AI to an existing SaaS:
1. Pick one workflow, not "AI everywhere." Watch where users leave your app to paste something into ChatGPT and come back. That round trip is your feature.
2. Keep the model behind your own API. One service owns prompts, retries, logging and cost limits, so you can switch providers without touching the frontend.
3. Make it tenant-aware from day one. Each customer's data, prompts and usage stay scoped to their account, or the first enterprise security review will stop you.
4. Ship a draft, not a decision. Let the AI suggest and the user approve. You earn trust and get real feedback before you automate anything.
5. Measure accepted output, not tokens. If users rewrite most of what it produces, the prompt or the context is wrong, and that's your real roadmap.
Most AI features that flop didn't fail because of the model. They were bolted onto the wrong step.
What's the one task your users still copy into ChatGPT?
Watching where users paste into ChatGPT and come back is such a practical way to find the real feature. Most teams start with the chatbot instead.
