The origin

I started DEFYE in September 2017, in high school, designing logos and profile pictures. A client wanted a promo video, so I taught myself After Effects, then Cinema 4D, then the full Adobe suite, all before Figma existed. Web design came last, and by the end it was a full creative shop run mostly solo, because the work was better when I owned it end to end.

What it became

DEFYE earned around $25k across 50+ clients through college. After graduating I folded its spirit into Chiggy AI Inc (incorporated 2026): the same muscle of full-ownership client work, with an AI-era framing. Full-stack products and custom agentic tooling for founders and small businesses, from websites and branding to motion graphics and video.

The agentic side is where it is going: autonomous, context-aware agents in the same lineage as the chiggyOS chief-of-staff, including job-scoped sub-agents that triage inbound mail and draft responses behind a strict never-auto-send rule, with a deterministic layer before any model call.

The throughline from graphic design to motion to web to AI is the same instinct every time: go deeper until I own the whole stack.
