For Shopify brands · Home & decor first

Fixed-price AI builds for Shopify home & decor brands

I scope it, build it and hand it off. You get working software in your store, not a strategy deck.

Written plan first. Code and accounts stay yours.

Every fabric, finish and color needs its own images and copy before a SKU can launch. I build the pipeline that makes them, with your team approving every image.

  • Fixed scope
  • Fixed price
  • Code you own

The problem

Where the time goes

Three bottlenecks I see in growing Shopify catalogs, and the build that fixes each one.

Variant imagery

Every fabric, finish and color needs its own images and copy before it can launch. You can't photograph every combination.

Content and support load

New SKUs wait on photos and copy. "Where's my order?" tickets pile up. Both pull your team off growth work.

Apps that don't connect

You've tried AI apps one at a time, and none of them talk to your stack. You need one plan and one build that works in your store.

How it works

Five steps, all in writing

  1. 1

    Fit call or Teardown

    A 20-minute call to pick the right package, or the paid one-week Teardown of your public store.

  2. 2

    Written scope in 48 hours

    Fixed price, fixed timeline and a written definition of done.

  3. 3

    Kickoff

    You own the accounts. I work with least-privilege tokens stored in your secret manager, then start the build.

  4. 4

    Weekly written updates

    Progress in writing. Anything new is scoped and priced before work starts.

  5. 5

    Handoff and runbook

    You get working software, a runbook, training and a human review step. My access is revoked at handoff.

Anything not in the SOW needs a signed change order first. It becomes a fixed-price add-on or moves to the next package.

Case study

Product imagery for fabric and finish variants

I built a production pipeline, over about six months, that applies fabrics and finishes across furniture to produce product images. See how it works, and which image models I'm comparing.
