I help solo founders and small teams do more with less using AI.

How I can help you: 
• Run your business more efficiently with fewer resources
• Serve more clients without burning out 
• Focus on what you do best while AI handles the rest 
• Build systems that get better over time, not more complicated

With 24+ years experience transforming how growth-stage businesses innovate and a focus on practical results, I guide business owners to achieve more without traditional resource constraints.

Real Results I've Helped Create: 
• Cut routine tasks by 70-80% 
• Serve 3-4X more clients without adding staff 
• Reduce operational costs by 50-60% 
• Free up 45%+ more time for strategic growth 
• Compete with much larger companies while staying small

You’ve been sitting on that app idea for months.

Maybe years.

But when it’s finally time to build, you freeze.

What tool do I use? What if I mess it up? Where do I even start?

You’re staring at a blank screen.

But what if you didn’t need to “build an app”?

What if you just needed a prototype that works, and tells you if your idea even has legs?

That’s what we did last Friday inside Mighty AI Lab.

Here’s the 4-step process we used to go from idea to live prototype in 60 minutes:

1. Start with the Problem–Solution–User Triangle

Before building anything, clarify three things:

1. The problem you’re solving (e.g. “Salespeople procrastinate on high-value tasks”)
2. The user you’re solving it for (e.g. “B2B sales reps who work remotely and feel isolated”)
3. The outcome that defines success (e.g. “Help them start difficult tasks in under 2 minutes”)

Without this triangle, your app will drift. With it, every feature decision becomes obvious.

2. Use the IDEA Template

A simple framework for structuring the app concept:

- Intent: What is the core transformation this app enables?

→ “Reduce friction and resistance so users take action faster.”

- Data: What info does the app work with or generate?

→ “User check-ins, emotional states, task history, time of day.”

- Experience: How should it feel to use this?

→ “Supportive, low-pressure, playful. Like having a coach, not a critic.”

- Actions: What tasks should the user be able to perform?

→ “Log resistance, get tailored nudges, track progress over time.”

This turns vague ideas into a real architecture, without writing a single line of code.

3. Build in Claude Artifacts

Instead of using 5 tools to cobble something together, we use Claude’s Artifact mode to:

- Generate a UI (forms, logic, layout) through natural language prompts
- Link intent to interaction—e.g., “When user selects ‘resisting outreach’, show mindset nudge.”
- Iterate live while thinking out loud, which unlocks creativity and flow.

You’re not coding. You’re designing with language.

4. Test. Adjust. Ship.

Don’t wait for “done.” Start with usable.

- Share the prototype with 2–3 target users
- Ask: “Would this actually help you do the thing you’re avoiding?”
- Based on real feedback, make small tweaks that move the needle
- Only then consider porting it to something like Lovable or Retool

This step saves founders weeks of wasted effort and gives clarity faster than any brainstorm ever could.

Here's a real example:

Holly came to the session with an idea:

A tool that helps salespeople overcome procrastination.

In less than an hour, she had a working prototype.

Complete with resistance check-ins, mindset coaching, and game-like progress tracking.

Not just imagined.

Built.

We build real prototypes live, every week, inside Mighty AI Lab.

You can’t clone yourself.

But you can build a delivery system that thinks and executes like you.

(without burning out)

Most founders wait until they’re overwhelmed to think about scale.

By then, THEY are already the bottleneck.

If every new client means:

→ More hours.
→ More approvals.
→ More context-switching.

... adding people won’t help unless your system is ready.

You need a delivery engine that learns from you and scales WITH you.

Here’s how we help solo-led founders  build delivery agents and scale without losing control →
