POV
Personal creative point of view
“I believe the value of creative work is shifting from production to judgement: finding and framing the narrative, feeling what is working, and building systems that carry those decisions forward and make them easy for others to use.
I use AI to extend what a small, focused team can create, while keeping taste, cultural context, and relationships human.”
