PATTAYA, Thailand – Derek Hanjora of Havven is this week’s guest on the Adult Site Broker Talk podcast, the show announced today.
According to the announcement from the podcast, Hanjora has spent over 18 years as a UX (“user experience”) designer, “building his career around a single guiding principle: always put the user first.”
“That philosophy has allowed him to contribute to innovative projects across industries including SaaS, government, media, and retail,” the announcement added. “He’s passionate about transforming complex challenges into intuitive, meaningful solutions that make people’s lives easier and more enjoyable.”
The announcement noted that in recent years, Hanjora has “transitioned from designer to founder,” establishing his own company, Sanctuary Innovations, to “bring his vision to life through Havven — a secure, inclusive, and beautifully designed digital sanctuary created for the kink, alternative lifestyle, and LGBTQ+ communities.”
As described in the announcement, Havven “isn’t just another social media app; it’s his answer to the need for a safer, more intentional online experience.”
Outside of his work, Hanjora is a “husband, father, lifelong Marvel comics enthusiast, and self-described movie geek.” He’s also been an avid pro wrestling fan for over three decades, stemming from “a love of storytelling and creativity that continually shapes his design philosophy and leadership approach.”
The team at Sanctuary Innovations “consists of experienced tech professionals with over 100 years of combined expertise who are also genuine members of the communities they serve,” the announcement explained. “Having personally faced the challenges of censorship and digital displacement on mainstream platforms, they bring deep empathy and authenticity to their work. Their mission is to create a safe, inclusive digital home. Every feature and policy within Havven reflects their ‘Safety by Design’ approach, ensuring users can connect, create, and earn within an environment built on trust and respect. Ultimately, Sanctuary Innovations exists to empower adults in alternative lifestyles by giving them the secure, stigma-free digital space they deserve.”
“What Derek has created is phenomenal,” said Bruce the adult site broker, host of the podcast and CEO of Adult Site Broker. “It will help many people who didn’t have a social media place to go. It’s an interview you shouldn’t miss.”
