Building smarter systems for creative businesses
Follow along as I build tools and workflows that help creative businesses make better decisions faster – from product planning and inventory management to launch strategies and content systems. Every tool I build gets tested on my own business first.
Hi, I’m Larissa
Illustrator, surface designer, and systems thinker testing how AI can optimise the business side of creative work. I still draw everything by hand. But after years of spreadsheets, planning paralysis, and operational burnout, I'm learning to automate the parts that drain creative energy.
-
For over a decade I’ve designed and developed products for brands and run my own illustration studio, creating prints, repeat patterns collections for home and lifestyle products. This hands‑on experience grounds my approach to both design and systems thinking.
-
My background in product development taught me the importance of processes, supply chains and business operations. Over time I saw the same need for structure in creative work. By learning AI and automation, I’m applying those skills to build small, smart systems that remove drudge work and leave more room for design.

I build AI‑powered tools, templates and workflows for designers and small creative businesses — not to generate illustrations, but to automate the repetitive tasks around them — and I share my experiments publicly so you can follow along, learn and adapt them to your own practice.
