Derek Hanjora of Havven Is this Week’s Guest on Adult Site Broker Talk

Derek Hanjora of Havven is this week’s guest on Adult Site Broker Talk.

Derek Hanjora has spent over 18 years as a UX 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.

He’s passionate about transforming complex challenges into intuitive, meaningful solutions that make people’s lives easier and more enjoyable.

Derek’s shift from designer to founder wasn’t about ambition — it was about need. After years of watching people lose their digital homes, he founded Sanctuary Innovations and built Havven, a secure and intentional online space for the kink, alternative, and LGBTQ+ communities. Havven feels less like an app and more like a home built on trust.

Beyond his title, Derek is a husband, a dad, and a lifelong Marvel junkie who still lines up on opening night. He’s also a wrestling fan who sees poetry in the performance — that mix of strength and storytelling that sneaks into his design sensibility.

Sanctuary Innovations, LLC drives Havven forward — a social-and-commerce platform that finally speaks the language of inclusion and respect.

Its team blends decades of professional expertise with lived experience. They’ve been deplatformed, ignored, and underestimated, and that’s exactly why they’re the ones qualified to fix it.

Their focus is unwavering: build a safe, inclusive digital home. “Safety by Design” isn’t just part of the product — it’s part of the DNA.

In the end, Sanctuary Innovations gives voice and visibility to adults who’ve had too many doors closed. And this time, they’re holding the keys.
