Soulful AI & Automation Consulting · Creative Systems Design

Hi, I'm Jojo. I am a designer and programmer who builds soulful, weird, and intelligent systems.

I've spent decades at the intersection of technology, story, and intuition. These days, I offer consulting and collaboration in two main areas:

AI & Automation

For creatives, founders, and future-thinkers who want help with:

  • Custom and off-grid LLM pipelines
  • Embedded programming, robotics, smart home systems, voice AI, conversational agents and sensory detection systems:
  • Intelligent tools and processes for creative flows, business operations, and productivity

Projects

Creative Tech Projects

Collaborations with studios, rebels, and dreamers:

  • Memory-driven AI assistants and companions
  • Experimental visual and narrative design concept and execution
  • Expressive human-machine experiences and integrations

Projects

Work With Me

I take on a small number of meaningful collaborations each season.

If you have a project that's weird, beautiful, or just needs a soulful technical mind—let's talk.

I love the ocean, and can be found solo-sailing the coast of Nova Scotia, crewing on a passage to Bermuda, or leveling up in storms and harsh conditions.

From time to time, I share thoughts on AI, technology, and what it means to be human. Reach me on LinkedIn, if that's your thing.
