Work order № 01 — Prepared for a busy merch production team

Let's get Claude quietly doing your
busywork — without adding a single tool you'll have to babysit.

You've already got the systems that run your business. You don't need another login, another dashboard, or an "AI strategy deck." You need Claude to draft the emails, the marketing, the briefs and the admin you're doing by hand — and someone to set it up simply and teach you to run it yourselves.

Assess before I recommend
The smallest setup that works
Plain-English guides
Trained until you don't need me

I actually read your post

You said it plainly. So will I.

"Without adding complexity, extra logins, or tools we don't need."

My job: reduce friction, not add it. If a tool adds more upkeep than it saves, I'll tell you — and we won't add it.

"We value plain English, minimal fuss, and systems that stay stable."

My job: no jargon, no fragile setups. Everything documented in steps you can actually follow.

"Train the owner and 1–2 staff to use it independently."

My job: I'm not done when it works. I'm done when you can run it without calling me.

"Honest about what AI can and can't reliably do."

My job: Claude drafts; you approve. I'll always be straight about the limits and the ongoing effort.

How I'd work with you

Four steps. No surprises.

01
Look before I leap

First I learn how you actually work today — your emails, your marketing, your admin. I recommend nothing until I've seen the real tasks.
02
Set up the smallest thing that works

Claude Projects and simple workflows aimed at real time-savers. No tool you don't need, nothing to babysit.
03
Write it down in plain English

Step-by-step guides your team can follow on a Monday morning — no technical background required.
04
Train you until I'm optional

I sit with the owner and 1–2 staff until you're confident running it independently. Success = you don't need me for the day-to-day.

Exactly what you asked me to send

Your three questions, answered.

01 Relevant Claude AI experience

I build practical, in-production systems with Claude — not demos. A few, all built with Claude:

Your Drafter — a legal drafting app built with Claude Code that turns messy case notes into ready-to-file documents for non-technical users. I deliberately let Claude do only what it's reliably good at (drafting, structuring) and kept the facts verified outside the model.
Franklin Strategic Solutions — a full business-consultant website with Claude-powered content, image and video generation, and email integration.
A live Shopify pricing automation — an n8n workflow built with Claude that reprices a jewelry catalogue against live metal rates, every day, on its own.

I'm also AI Generalist certified — so I care about which tasks Claude should and shouldn't touch, not just how to prompt it.

02 A simple system I set up for a non-technical client

Even Carat — a jewelry store owner with zero technical background. Their catalogue used to be repriced by hand every day against gold/silver rates. I built a Shopify + n8n automation (with Claude) that does it itself — purity, making-charges and margin rules baked in — and shows a clean price breakup on every product. Hours of daily manual work → zero.

A clothing-brand owner who'd never used AI. I taught her to generate her own social-media content and catalogue-ready product mockups — replacing paid photoshoots — and to keep doing it herself.

Both share the same finish: I set it up simply, wrote it down in plain English, and trained them until they could run it without me. That's exactly what I'd bring to your team.

03 Rates & availability

Availability Open for the next 3 months Ready to commit to a preferred time slot that suits your team — just tell me the hours that work for you.

Rate $49 / hour As listed on my Upwork profile. Happy to start small and scale only if it's clearly paying off.

The part most people skip

I'll always tell you the catch first.

You asked for someone who explains the downsides and ongoing effort before recommending anything. That's not a bonus for me — it's the whole job. Here's the thinking, made playable:

DISPATCH BOARD Tap a task ↓

Think of AI models like hiring: you wouldn't put your senior developer on a job any junior could do. I match the right tool to each task — and any time something adds a monthly bill, changing prices, or upkeep, you'll hear about it from me first.

Built & shipped — all with Claude

Real deployments, not slideware.

Your Drafter

Messy case notes → ready-to-file legal documents for non-technical users. Claude drafts; the facts stay verified outside the model — the same "safe by design" thinking I'd bring to your setup.

Also shipped with Claude: support & lead-gen chatbots, document-grounded RAG assistants (citations, not hallucinations), Klaviyo & Shopify workflows, and generative product mockups for apparel brands.

Why me, specifically

A business brain that happens to build AI.

I think in ROI, not features

I hold a BBA — so I understand business applications more naturally than most purely-technical people. I care whether a setup actually saves you time and money, and I'll say so honestly when it doesn't.

I've worked in America

I understand cross-cultural nuance and communicate clearly across time zones — on time, in plain English, without making you chase me.

I'm honest about the limits

Claude is brilliant at drafting and structuring, and unreliable at inventing facts. I build so it only does what it's good at — and you always stay in control.

Next step

Let's look at 2–3 of your actual recurring tasks together.

On a short call I'll show you — concretely — what Claude would take off your plate, and the honest effort to keep it running, before you commit to anything.

P.S. This whole page? I built it with Claude Code — for the fun of it. That's the same tool I'd put to work quietly inside your business.
