About Ant
I’m Ant, and BlackFig is just me. I am a senior product designer who also writes the code, based in Nottingham. I design and build products for early-stage founders: new MVPs, typically live in 4 to 6 weeks depending on scope, fixes for apps built with AI tools, and ongoing work once a product is live.
I have spent more than 10 years designing digital products. I was the first designer at a B2B SaaS company, and I designed and built a two-sided marketplace, FindPopups.
Most products go wrong in the gaps between people: the designer hands over, the developer guesses, and the founder pays for both. I do the design and the build myself, so nothing gets lost in between. I use AI tools to move faster on the repetitive parts, and I only take a few builds at a time.
If you have already built something with an AI tool and it is creaking, I also fix vibe-coded apps before real users find the gaps.
