Building better ways to market sports technology.

I use AI to move from science and strategy to shipped work — across websites, email, content, creative and product experiences.

How I work

Technical products usually pass through a chain of specialists before anything reaches the customer: strategy, scientific review, copy, design, video, development, CRM and revisions.

I can understand the product science, shape the message, build the creative and ship the customer-facing work — with fewer handoffs in between.

PhD trained

I can get close to the evidence and understand why a technical product matters.

Creative

I care about making technical products look and feel as good as the best consumer brands.

AI native

I use AI to move quickly from strategy into copy, creative, code and live campaigns.

Start here

The work, and the industry around it.

I document how I'm using AI across lifecycle, creative and product marketing — alongside the products and companies I'm watching across sports tech.

From idea to shipped work.

I document the workflows I actually use — from the initial idea and strategy through to copy, creative, code and the finished thing.

Why I document it

AI is changing what one person can build.

My work sits somewhere between science, marketing, data, design and software.

Those disciplines used to involve a lot more handoffs. Increasingly, AI lets me move between them and actually build the thing — not just write the brief.

This site is where I document what I'm building, what I'm learning and the new ways of working that are worth keeping.
