DeFi brand launch
A full collateral suite at a fraction of an agency budget. A pitch deck, white paper, and brand identity — including the company name itself — for far less than the client expected.
SaaS website & sales collateral
Delivered $1,000 under budget. I used AI to mine legacy client emails for core messaging, then wrote, designed, and launched the full site and collateral.
Book-to-podcast in 4 hours
Agency-quality audio, start to finish, in under four hours. I turned a CEO’s published book into a polished, talk-show-style podcast that sounds like live radio.
Case study page in under 3 hours
Written and designed in one afternoon. I converted a raw audio interview into a conversion-focused case study — cleaning the transcript, writing the copy, and shipping PDF and HTML versions.
