My Journey

From indie hacker to founder, powered by hard work and community support

The solo founder behind GoStudio.ai. My journey into indie hacking began with a personal challenge finding a professional photo that truly represented me. Back in college, as I prepared for job applications and projects, I realized that many applicants weren't seeking glamour; they just needed a photo that aligned with their story.

This frustration led me to create GoStudio.ai not just another AI image tool, but a platform designed for creators, founders, and professionals. It generates a suite of polished visuals that reflect your unique style no stressful photo sessions required.

As an indie hacker, I understand the challenges of building something from the ground up. GoStudio.ai is my way of democratizing access to professional-quality visuals, enabling individuals from all walks of life to present themselves confidently, creatively, and authentically.
