This testimonial meant more to me than it probably should have.
Not because it says I did a great job.
But because of one sentence:
"Gave recommendations to make our product better."
That's exactly how I want to be known.
I don't want clients to hire me just to build automations or campaigns….
I want them to hire me because I can spot opportunities they haven't seen yet.
Because the best work rarely comes from simply doing what's in the brief.
It comes from asking better questions, challenging assumptions, and making recommendations that leave the business in a better place than you found it.

“Did a great job. Very responsive and gave recommendations to make our product better. We will work with him again in the future.”

Worked with the Framer team recently and just got this review from Ellie at Framer.
"professional, responsive and creative"
Honestly made my day. Thanks Ellie! 🧡
Been building Framer sites for AI and SaaS startups for a while now, and getting a nod from someone on the Framer team itself is pretty special.

Impressive work. Wishing you more success!
I decided to resubmit my video promo because I didn't put the explanation video showing my process while using Envato and those can be really helpful to other people that are going to be doing their Envato submissions.
I think discovery is the most relevant "Human by Design" moment... not correcting a mistake or a design change. We do that too when we collaborate with other people, but discovery is an exclusively human sport. We are the curators of taste, the creative funnel of inspiration. Yes, tools make it faster, and we can now follow every spark to create whatever we want. But that inspiration comes mostly from the need for constant discovery in our ever-changing world.
@dylansiegel thank you for the heads up
A founder recently asked me to build an AI chatbot.
After understanding the business, I recommended something completely different.
The real bottleneck wasn't answering user questions.
It was a manual review process.
Every new shop submitted to the platform had to be verified, checked for duplicates, and rewarded by an admin.
Instead of another chatbot, I designed an AI-first workflow:
• MCP servers exposing business tools securely
• AI agents to verify submissions and detect duplicates
• Automated reward assignment
• Human review only for uncertain cases
The objective wasn't to replace people.
It was to eliminate repetitive work and let humans focus on decisions that actually require judgment.
This is why I enjoy building AI products.
The best AI solution isn't always the most sophisticated model, it's the one that solves the right business problem.
That's the difference between adding AI to a product and engineering a business around AI.
Let's build your AI product together.
