02 / AI as a leadership capability
I build with AI.
And I build the guardrails.
AI is how I work every day: designing the product, writing the operating framework, wiring the agents, and deciding where human judgment must stay in charge.
Products that run on AI
Working products and current experiments.- SLOAN: a private AI notebook for professional objectives.
- Hope Seed Moments: parent-led AI for families.
- AI workflows supporting research and execution.
- Music, film and brand worlds made with AI.
Operating models agents follow
Structure before speed.- Five-field model: objective, state, move, blocker, signal.
- Specs approved before a line of code.
- Source-of-truth documents agents cannot override.
- Clear human and agent division of labor.
Human judgment stays in charge
Trust is designed in.- Nothing leaves without human approval.
- Children never touch the AI.
- Honest AI-and-human declarations.
- Every claim tracked by provenance.
Frame the opportunity
Start with the business, not the tool.Business context, customer insight and creative direction come first. AI enters once the question is clear.
Explore and prototype
Many options, fast.Use AI to develop, test and refine possibilities at speed, then keep only what earns its place.
Finish with intent
Craft decides what ships.People, review and professional finishing turn prototypes into work that deserves an audience.

Why I’m exploring
another role.
I’m looking to join another founding or leadership team where I can take responsibility for brand, product direction and go-to-market.
I remain active in the ventures I founded. Hope Seed is testing a new product version, PawMe is awaiting iOS and Android app-store approval, and SLOAN is in alpha. LEVANYA is my personal music project.
I’m seeking a compensated role with a defined commitment of 20–30 hours per week. My venture work will continue alongside it, with responsibilities, availability and working arrangements agreed clearly from the outset.
04 / What I’m building
Built from scratch.
Still learning in the market.
I founded every project here. Hope Seed and PawMe each have a co-founder; SLOAN and LEVANYA are solo ventures. I built them from the ground up, connecting the idea, its identity and the experience people use.

05 / How I lead
Close to the vision. Accountable for the work.
I work best with a talented team and a CEO or founder who values trust, clear decisions and ownership. I connect strategy with the people and disciplines that bring it to life.
Strategy through execution.
The idea is only as good as the version that ships. I stay close to the work until it does.
Brand as a business asset.
Identity, product and go-to-market treated as one system, with a P&L in view.
AI with human judgment.
Use the tools to move faster and see more, and keep people accountable for what reaches the audience.
