Yes, it's AI.
That's why it's fast.
I spent the last few years figuring out how to make AI turn out agency-grade ad creative, branding and illustration. Now you get the shortcut, plus 20 years of design judgment on every file. Delivered in 3 business days, with your name on it.
Plans start at $500/month. Robots included at no extra charge. · Work for Bodybuilding.com, Evergreen Home Loans, Visit Idaho, ROHM and more. Boise, Idaho.
Spec work for fictional brands, plus original illustration for Notes from the Forge.
Who it's for
Built for agencies that sell more creative than they can staff. You win the work. My AI setup does the heavy lifting, and I make sure it doesn't look like it.
Marketing and ad agencies that need a steady flow of paid social and display creative
Web and dev shops whose clients keep asking for logos, brand refreshes and launch graphics
Solo consultants who want a senior designer on call without payroll
Why work with me
I did the homework so you don't have to. Hundreds of hours testing tools, prompts and workflows, so you skip straight to the part that works.
Fast because of AI, good because of me. The machines draft, resize and spin variations. I direct the concepts, fix the weird hands, and sign off on every file.
20 years in brand and product UX. AI doesn't know your client's brand. I do.
Invisible by design. No credit on the files, no contact with your clients, NDA on request. Nobody has to know about the robots.
HOW IT WORKS
Brief in. Files out. Three days.
The machines do the drafting and the resizing. I do the deciding. Here's what a request looks like from your side.
Pick a plan
Tell me what you need and we'll set up a monthly plan. No contract, cancel before your next billing date.
Day 0Send a brief
Copy, brand guidelines or past examples, and the sizes you need. The more specific, the better the machines behave.
5 minutes of your timeI direct the concepts
AI explores dozens of directions. I pick the strongest, refine them in Figma and fix anything that looks machine-made.
Behind the scenesGet your files
Ready-to-run exports in every size plus the Figma source. No credit, no watermark. Revise within your concept rounds, then send the next one.

How this compares
Every way of getting more creative out the door has trade-offs. Here's the honest version, including mine.
| Big agency | Freelancer | In-house hire | Tarantino Design | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Large retainers, often annual | Varies by person and project | Salary, benefits and tools | $500–1,800 a month |
| Speed | Weeks, with layers of review | Depends on their other clients | Fast once hired and trained | 3 business days, 2 on Partner |
| Senior creative direction | Yes | Hit or miss | Depends on who you hire | 20 years, on every file |
| Flexing up or down | Rigid scopes | One person, one pace | Fixed capacity | Change plans month to month |
| Your client stays yours | They may pitch your client | Usually | Yes | White-label, NDA on request |
| Commitment | Long-term contract | Per project | Full-time employee | No contract |
| Not the right fit for | Small, fast-moving budgets | Steady monthly volume | Uneven or seasonal demand | Huge productions or a 50-person bench |

SAMPLE WORK
One brief. Three sizes. Ready to run.
A test run for Ember & Oat, a made-up coffee roaster. AI generated the photography. I directed the concept, picked the frame, set the type in Figma and sized it for feed, square and Stories.
Concept piece for a fictional brand, made to show the process. Not client work.

THE MODERN CREATIVE FORGE
The machines make options.
I make decisions.
In Greek mythology, Hephaestus built mechanical assistants to help him make extraordinary things. I like his approach.
My workshop looks a little different. AI helps with exploration, production, and the repetitive tasks that slow creative teams down. I bring the concepts, direction, refinement, and judgment that turn those outputs into work a client can actually use.
It's not about replacing the craft. It's about giving it better machinery.

Wait, you really use AI?
Unapologetically. It's why you get senior-level creative at this price and speed. Every concept, layout and final file is still directed and checked by a human with 20 years of experience: me.
Will it look AI-generated?
Not if I'm doing my job. Catching that is most of what you're paying me for.
Will my clients know you made the work?
No. Files carry no credit or watermark, and I never contact your clients unless you ask me to.
Who owns the work?
The final files are yours to use for your clients. Ask if your client has a policy on AI-made work, and I'll tell you exactly how it was made.
What counts as one creative?
One ad design plus its resizes, up to 4 formats (for example square, story, landscape and banner).
How fast is turnaround?
Three business days for most requests, two on the Partner plan. Bigger brand projects get a date up front.
What do I need to send?
A short brief, brand guidelines or past examples, copy, and the sizes you need.
What files do I get?
Exports ready to upload (PNG, JPG or PDF) plus the Figma source file.
Can I pause or cancel?
Yes, anytime before your next billing date. No contracts.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, happy to sign yours.
