A sneak peek at one element of the project: the three-step design process, shown as three hand-drawn line objects.
Build-in-public: this week I stopped selling AI automation as a project and started selling it as a weekly operating rhythm. One agency client now gets a fixed weekly check, pipeline cleaned, follow-ups chased, broken automations fixed, before anything new gets built. The shift is small but the result is not, retention went up because the client stopped worrying about what breaks between calls. Lesson I keep re-learning: clients do not buy a build, they buy the feeling that someone competent is watching their operations every single week.
THE INVISIBLE STAGE — Eight Plays the Future Never Rehearsed 🎭
What if modern technology existed in the Victorian era?
I created eight artworks showing how everyday digital experiences like endless scrolling, passwords, online meetings, cloud storage, notifications, and AI automation might look inside a 19th-century toy theatre.
I took inspiration from three historical illustrations (1870–1890) from The Metropolitan Museum of Art and used them to create two custom Recraft Styles: Stormy Sketches and Stormy Gouache.
All eight artworks were created using Recraft V4.1 Pro in October 2026.
I wanted to combine historical art with modern technology and show how much our everyday lives are influenced by digital systems.
Custom Recraft Styles:
Stormy Sketches — Acts I, II, III and VIII (main Style linked above).
Stormy Gouache — Acts IV, V, VI and VII.
Stormy Gouache Style: Stormy Gouache
