Summary
Manuele Capacci is a founder and product maker based in London who blends 20 years of product design, management, and hands‑on development to take ideas from concept to shipped product. He leads OURFIRES, an independent studio building native apps, web platforms and brand systems, and has a track record of scaling products—most notably a full rebrand and redesign at Spreaker that contributed to its growth and acquisition. Comfortable switching between design and code, he focuses on creating useful, enduring experiences rather than technically correct or merely beautiful artifacts. He’s particularly interested in how AI shortens build cycles and elevates taste and product sense as the real competitive edges. Trained in digital design and computer science, he combines artistic craft with engineering pragmatism to ship products that matter.
