Product Designer · AI-First Builder · Systems Thinker

Designing useful products with taste, systems, and AI.

I’m Jihad Yanuar, a UI/UX and Product Designer. I design and build products across the full arc of how they come to life: from the first spark and strategy, to creating and shipping, to keeping them running with AI.

What I Do

I connect product clarity with future-facing execution.

Every product moves through the same arc: a spark becomes a plan, a plan becomes something built, and what is built has to keep serving people. I work across that whole arc, concretely.

Awakening → Strategy

Clarify & Strategize

Turning a raw idea into a clear direction: positioning, product strategy, user journeys, and deciding what to build first for systems like FounderOS and ProductOS.

Creating → Building

Design & Build

Designing and shipping the real thing: flows, dashboards, onboarding, and design systems for products like LiveOps and AI SaaS Factory.

Serving → Preserving

Operate & Sustain

Keeping products alive after launch: AI workflows, automation, and the memory and context layer that holds it together, like ContinuumOS and OpsForgeAI.

Consulting Services

Practical consulting for product, AI, and digital systems.

Concrete engagements mapped to where you are in the journey: from the first spark, through building, to serving and refining what already exists.

Reviewing products, dashboards, websites, or workflows to identify friction, inconsistency, and UX gaps.

Best for: existing products, teams, and dashboards needing a UX tune-up.
The Journey

A human journey, from awakening to boredom, and back again.

Each one is a product I imagine living at a stage of that arc: modules of Jihad+, my personal AI operating system, reaching from the smallest particle to the widest galaxy. The tools change, but the movement stays the same.

Operating Principles

The principles behind how I think, design, and build.

The same foundation that powers Jihad+: context, orchestration, and human taste, applied to every system I build.

01

Context before output

Understand the person, the goal, and the memory first. Good work starts from context, not features.

02

One system, many agents

A single living system where role-based agents, one per phase of the journey, collaborate instead of scattered tools.

03

Human taste leads AI

AI generates and accelerates, but human judgment, taste, ethics, and intention guide the work.

04

AI beside you, not instead of you

Technology should walk with people through their day, amplifying them, never replacing them.

05

Build in loops, not lines

Work moves in cycles, from awakening to boredom and back, each pass deepening the last.

06

Build with responsibility

Every product, workflow, and automation should consider the people affected by it.
