Since 2022, I've been figuring out how AI tools actually integrate with creative work—not just the hype, but what really changes in your day-to-day creative process. Now I share what I've learned through honest insights and practical resources.
My focus is on the strategic and psychological aspects of working with AI creatively. How do you maintain your creative vision when algorithms can generate infinite possibilities? What happens to creative intuition when you have AI as a collaborator?

No spam, just creative resources and AI workflow insights. Unsubscribe anytime.
I focus on behind-the-scenes insights about how AI actually changes creative work. Think strategic analysis of industry transformation, honest breakdowns of creative process changes, and practical resources based on real experience—not just hype or tutorials.
Nope! I've shifted from providing creative services to sharing knowledge and building educational resources. My focus now is on helping other creative professionals understand and navigate the AI transformation through content and community.
Most AI creative content is either "look what I made" showcases or basic tutorials. I dig into the strategic and psychological stuff—how your creative process actually changes, what happens to creative intuition, and the real industry transformation beyond the headlines.
I've been experimenting with AI creative tools since 2022, figuring out what actually works vs. what's just hype. My main toolkit includes Midjourney, Runway, Claude, and Pixelmator Pro, but I focus more on the strategic thinking than the specific tools.
Sometimes, but that's not my main focus. I'm more interested in the bigger picture—how to think strategically about AI in creative work, how to maintain your creative vision, and what the industry transformation actually looks like from the inside.
I'll offer a mix of free and paid resources. Some foundational guides and insights will always be free, while more comprehensive courses and resource packages will be paid. Everything is designed to provide real value regardless of price point.
I'm focusing on content creation first—building up a solid foundation of insights and resources. Courses will come naturally as I identify what people need most. Sign up for updates in the Resources section to know when new stuff launches.
Right now I'm not doing consulting or team training. But the content and resources I'm creating are designed to help creative professionals and teams think more strategically about AI integration. That might be more valuable than a one-off workshop anyway.
Two things: I've been actually using these tools for creative work long enough to see past the initial hype, and I focus on the strategic and psychological aspects rather than just the technical stuff. Plus, I'm honest about what works and what doesn't.
Creative professionals who are curious about AI but want honest insights rather than hype. Designers, artists, and creative teams trying to figure out how this stuff actually fits into their work without losing their creative identity.
