I take products from raw idea to shipped software to first enterprise revenue — as a team of one.
I'm Ali Taghipour Changiz, an AI-native founder and product designer based in Milano. I'm the solo founder and CEO of Vepartment, backed by CDP Venture Capital, where I build with Claude and AI coding agents — my craft is knowing what to build, validating it, and selling it.
Before that I worked across creative direction, art direction, and design — from AI creative solutions for clients like Unilever to films, brand strategy, and jewelry — and that mix still shapes how I design: hands-on, visual, and fast.
