Why Now

The admin is eating your design time.

If you run a 1 to 3 person design firm, you already know the problem: most of your week disappears into the work that doesn't look like design. Email triage. Scheduling. Lead follow-up. Spec sheets. Vendor coordination. Sourcing. Invoicing. Posting on social. The actual design work - the part you love and the part clients pay you for - keeps getting squeezed.

AI agents change the math. Not generic "AI tools" you bolt onto your Chrome browser, but real, configured agents that live in your stack - Gmail, Calendar, Asana, Slack, your CRM, SketchUp - and do the recurring work the way you'd do it. The good news: the tools are finally good enough. The bad news: the gap between "AI-curious" designers and "I have three agents running my back office" designers is widening fast.

FOCUSED Agentic Designers is where I show you how to close that gap.

What's Inside

What you'll learn inside FAD

  • Pick the right AI agent stack for a 1 to 3 person design firm (no rabbit holes, no $400/month tool sprawl).
  • Stand up your first working agent in a weekend - email triage, calendar prep, or a lead scout that does the cold scrolling for you.
  • Wire agents into Gmail, Google Calendar, Asana, Slack, SketchUp, and your CRM without writing code.
  • Build agents that match your voice. Your clients should never feel like they're talking to a chatbot.
  • The "AI staff org chart" - the first three agents to hire and the order to hire them in.
  • Live build-along workshops, agent templates you can clone, peer reviews from other firm owners, and direct access to me inside the community.

Who It's For

Is this for you?

Yes, if you're...

  • Running an interior, kitchen & bath, cabinetry, architectural, or product design firm
  • A solo or 1 to 3 person team
  • Already using SketchUp / V-Ray / Enscape / D5 / AI rendering in your client work
  • Tired of the admin and operational overhead eating your design time
  • Open to learning AI tools and willing to put in 2 to 4 hours a week

Probably not, if you're...

  • Looking for a "set it and forget it" AI shortcut with no real setup work
  • A large firm (10+) with an existing IT/ops team running tools for you
  • Brand new to design and still figuring out your own workflow
  • Allergic to learning new tools or troubleshooting your own setups
