AI builder + brand founder

I build usefulthings with AI.

Brands, media, books, and practical systems that move from idea to something real.

Things made real.

Three different creative lanes, connected by one working principle: build the useful version.

01

Brand and commerce

Estilo Golf Co.

A golf brand built around confident style, community, and showing up as yourself.

I use AI as a working partner across creative direction, product storytelling, campaign production, and the systems behind the storefront.

02

AI media and story

TonkaToyXL

AI stories that actually matter, translated into clear visual explainers people can use.

Research, scripting, visual systems, and production workflows come together as a repeatable media engine for fast moving AI topics.

03

Tools and workflows

AI systems

Practical systems that turn a complicated process into a clear sequence someone can trust.

I prototype with AI, test against the real workflow, and keep refining until the result is useful outside the demo.

I also publish practical systems.

AI should make the work more human, not less considered.

I am interested in the distance between an exciting idea and a finished thing people can actually use.

AI helps me move through that distance faster. Judgment, care, and the final standard still belong to the builder.
