The Wolf, signet
A boutique is defined by what it leaves out. These are the three engagements I take.
AI-assisted production for text, images, audio, and video. A journalist's hand on every word that ships. Volume without flatness, speed without slop. The flagship of this practice.
Custom chatbots when those help. Automations, workflows, internal tools, decision aids, and document pipelines when those help more. The right shape for the job, not whatever happens to be trendy this quarter.
Where to start, what to avoid, which models earn the budget. Backed by real working experience in journalism, small business, coaching, healing, nonprofits, sustainability, education, communications, and storytelling.
A boutique works because of what it leaves out. The fields below are where I have earned the right to advise, through career, lived experience, study, or all three.
Fifteen years as a working reporter and editor, plus the editorial work that lives just outside the newsroom. Podcast production and audio storytelling, brand voice, executive communications, and internal narrative for organizations that need to be heard clearly.
Founder, operator, and advisor across multiple ventures. Plain-language P&L instincts, pricing intuition, hospitality and short-term rental work, and the kind of decision frameworks owners actually use when they have to choose what to build next.
Working with coaches, wellness practitioners, and the brands or shows they build around their craft. Mindset, transitions, content programming, podcast production, and the production layer underneath. AI alongside the human work, never in place of it.
Lived experience first. Psychedelic-assisted therapy, neurodivergent identity work, mindfulness, and the slow integration that follows hard things. The work AI can do here is real, and it is always meant to support a person's care, never to stand in for it.
Grant writing, donor communications, policy framing, mission-aligned content, and civic engagement. The sector has its own rhythm and its own rules, and a quiet but real fluency in both is what gets the work done.
Active study and applied work. ESG reporting, urban greening, regenerative food, and the kind of communication that takes the science seriously and refuses to greenwash the rest.
Tooling for teachers, students, and institutions. Adaptive learning frameworks, IEP support, scholarly research workflows, and skill-building paths that hold up in a real classroom or a real career.
Screenplays, story structure, film criticism, interactive narrative, and world-building. The long arc of a creative practice that has to keep finishing things, not just starting them.
If your work lives outside these, I'll tell you. Boutique means I won't pretend.
A patient, well-trained AI companion for mental health support and 12-step recovery work. Caveated, never substituting for a clinician.

Award-winning journalist AI entrepreneur Recovering optimist
I spent fifteen years as a working reporter and editor, learning how to cut through noise, find what matters, and put it in language anyone could read. That training turned out to be exactly what generative AI demands. The tools are powerful. The judgment is the whole job.
IntelliBotique is the boutique I built to bring that judgment to organizations ready to move. I take a small number of clients each year, and I do the work myself. No account managers. No farmed-out drafts. No process where a practitioner should be.
"A wolf doesn't ask permission. It reads the terrain, moves decisively, and does the work."
I'm also the founder of TranquilTech, a pre-seed startup that grew out of this practice. Its first product, Mycelial, is in public prelaunch right now. Because the best advice on this technology comes from someone who has not stopped using it.

Quarter-time, senior, and embedded. About ten hours a week across content, custom AI, brand identity, production setup, platform architecture, and counsel.
IntelliBotique is the practice. TranquilTech is the pre-seed startup I founded through it. Mycelial is TranquilTech's first product, currently in public prelaunch. Real product work keeps the advice honest.
Fifteen minutes. No pitch deck. No follow-up sequence. Just a real conversation about where you are and what AI can plausibly do for you.
