About Ben Hunt

Most AI tools are brilliant at code. Terrible at understanding humans.After 25 years designing products for millions of users—from hyper-growth startups to enterprise platforms—I\'ve cracked the code on building AI that actually respects human intelligence.THE STORY:Six months ago, I got laid off from Elementum where I\'d reduced onboarding time by 40% and boosted user satisfaction by 25% through AI-powered UX. Instead of job hunting, my co-founder Tyler and I built something that scratches an itch nobody talks about: AI builders are great, but your prompts are costing you money and nobody\'s teaching you how to fix it.We built Opux. No technical background. Just 25 years of UX intuition and 22.5 gallons of Red Bull.Result? Top 1% app on Lovable. 13K+ views. Hundreds of users globally. Helping non-technical founders ship apps in weeks, not months.WHAT I DO:→ AI Product Design: Making complex AI systems feel human→ Design Leadership: Built design teams from 0 to 8+ specialists→ Systems Thinking: Created design systems that accelerated release cycles 50%→ B2B SaaS: Driven 28% activation improvements, 15% revenue growthWHAT I\'VE BUILT:• OpuxAI - AI product co-pilot turning ideas into shipped products• Elementum: 40% faster onboarding, 90% reduction in \"black box\" complaints• Nelnet Bank: 28% better retention serving 250K+ users• Sweater: Automated campaign governance saving millions in ad spendIf you\'re building high-impact AI products, value design as strategic advantage, or want to talk about why prompt engineering is simultaneously absurd and essential → let\'s connect.Currently: Building Opux | Available for: Director/Head of Design roles, consulting, contract w••••••@benhuntdesigns.com
