AI Product Architect · Creative Technologist

I design AI systems that power creative production.

From autonomous ad pipelines to AI tools used daily by production teams — I build GenAI systems that replace manual workflows with scalable automation. Currently leading AI creative tooling at Sett.

Things I've built.

InkForge
InkForge

Problem: Artists needed a fast, native tool for concept art that integrates AI editing without leaving their canvas. Built: A full macOS drawing app with AI-powered editing, layers, brushes, and a Procreate-inspired UI, designed in collaboration with the art team to fit real production workflows.

Swift macOS AI Editing CoreGraphics
Sprite Studio

Problem: Converting video sequences to sprite sheets took artists hours of manual work per asset. Built: A production pipeline with AI-powered grid detection, chroma key, and multi-format export. Integrated into the team's existing workflow, reducing a multi-hour process to minutes.

Problem: Motion designers constantly context-switched between AE and external AI tools. Built: A 10-module AI extension embedded directly in After Effects: image expansion, upscaling, background removal, video generation, audio, and copywriting. Developed with the motion team to eliminate round-trips and keep artists in their native environment.

Problem: The creative team needed one unified interface for multiple GenAI capabilities instead of juggling separate tools. Built: A modular production platform for image generation, video processing, 3D modeling, and background removal, on Replicate API, deployed for daily use by the creative and production teams.

About

Design meets AI engineering.

Ilan Lenzner

20+ years from 3D animation to interactive ads to AI product engineering.

Today I architect autonomous AI pipelines that generate, animate, and ship creative assets end-to-end, replacing workflows that used to take days with minutes.

I think in systems, design in Figma, and ship in code.

Let's build something that ships.

Looking for someone who builds AI tools, not just talks about them?

I bring 20+ years of shipping creative products, deep GenAI production experience, and the rare ability to bridge design, engineering, and AI into systems that actually work.
