Shalom, I’m Max. I take ideas from first sketch to working product.

15+ years in UX and UI across web, mobile, and games. I combine design, hands-on building, and AI to explore ideas and make them work.

Role
UX / Product Design
Year

Platform
Web / Desktop

AI coding agents can write code fast, but left alone they lose context, repeat work and drift from the goal. Creative Space is a kanban board that turns them into a small team: a developer agent builds, an architect agent reviews and plans, and I stay in control as the product owner. Every task, handoff and decision is visible in one place.
