AI Consulting for Business and Creative Professionals

The artificial intelligence landscape is rapidly evolving - many professionals find themselves at a crossroads. You know AI has the potential to transform your work, but with the constant flood of new tools, conflicting information, and dramatic headlines, it's challenging to know where to begin. The gap between realizing AI's potential and actually implementing it effectively can feel overwhelming.

This is where having a clear, practical understanding of AI technology becomes invaluable. Through focused consulting sessions, I help my clients cut through the noise and gain a meaningful understanding of the AI world. Together, we explore not just the tools themselves, but the broader context that matters to you: the ethical considerations, legal implications, reliability concerns, and the rapid pace of development that affects your decision-making.

My approach addresses both the practical and philosophical aspects of AI adoption. We examine concrete ways AI can enhance your specific workflows while also tackling the deeper questions that may be on your mind: How reliable are these tools? What are their limitations? What are the ethical implications? How do I maintain quality and authenticity in my work? Most importantly, how do I stay ahead of these changes rather than being disrupted by them?

These sessions go beyond simple tool recommendations. We explore the meta-aspects of AI that affect your decision-making: understanding hallucinations ("false truths") and their implications, evaluating different tool providers, assessing legal and compliance considerations, and developing strategies to stay current with AI's rapid evolution. This comprehensive understanding helps you make informed decisions about where and how to implement AI in your work.

Whether you're curious about AI's potential to streamline your workflow, concerned about its impact on your profession, or simply want to understand what's possible, these consulting sessions provide the clarity and direction you need. By understanding both the opportunities and limitations of current AI technology, you can move forward with confidence, knowing how to leverage these tools effectively, efficiently, and ethically.

Mock Up Designs

Accelerate your design process by using AI to create initial mockups and layouts for mobile applications. Generate placeholder content, explore different layout options, and visualize user interfaces before committing to detailed designs. This approach helps streamline the design process, allowing you to quickly iterate through ideas and get stakeholder feedback before investing in full development.

Client Stories

Photography Editing Company

Helped a professional photography studio explore AI solutions for automated photo classification. We evaluated both traditional machine learning approaches and cutting-edge APIs for categorizing profile photos based on content features. Initial testing with conventional image classification achieved 65% accuracy, which fell short of the studio's quality requirements.

After pivoting to test the OpenAI image classification API, we developed comprehensive testing and reporting infrastructure to evaluate its capabilities. However, detailed analysis revealed inconsistent performance across photographs with diverse skin tones, highlighting important limitations in the current technology's ability to handle varied demographics equitably.

While the research project ultimately determined that current AI classification technology wasn't sufficiently reliable for production use, the exploration provided valuable insights into both the capabilities and limitations of AI in professional photography workflows. This careful evaluation process helped the studio make an informed decision about AI adoption while maintaining their commitment to serving all clients equally.
