A creative studio for independent businesses
Matchbook designs how you look, builds where you sell, and runs the marketing that brings people in, using AI to do it faster and cheaper than an agency. You work with me start to finish, and you own everything we make.
The problem
You need a look people remember, a store that sells, and marketing that keeps bringing people in. An agency bills for months of meetings first. Doing it yourself eats every evening you have. Matchbook is in between. It's me, using AI to move fast, and when we're done you can run it yourself.
What Matchbook makes: logos, websites, Shopify stores, email, social posts, search, ads and small apps.
Send me your site and a few lines about the business. I go through your site, store and marketing, then send you a personal video: what you're missing, what I'd do, and mockups of how it could look. Yours to act on with me or without me.
We make what the review found: a sharper look, a new store or site, marketing you can keep running, and an app or AI step when you need one. AI makes it quick, and you're part of it the whole way, so you know how every part works.
You get the keys, every login in your name, and a playbook written for your business. You run it. I'm around if you want a hand later. Most people don't need it.
Clients

Livingston's fly shop since 1938, now a four-season outdoor store. I moved them from Lightspeed to Shopify and built the new store with their team.

A Park County builder that only had Instagram. Now a website built around photos of their own work, made to bring in new projects.

A Bozeman renovation builder. A new website, written around the work they want more of: complete renovations, additions and ADUs.
My own businesses

My audio shop. I made the look, the Shopify store and the marketing that brings people to it. It's early, and it's coming together in public.

A platform for working musicians: a website, music sales, shows, a tip jar and fan email in one place, plus an iPhone app on the App Store. I built it start to finish with AI.

My software brand: four apps on the App Store, from headphone measurement to chord charts and a daily songwriting habit, and nine audio plug-ins sold from its own store. Built with AI.
Your logo, your words and your photos, pulled into one look so people know you on sight.
Shopify stores and fast websites, written for the people actually buying. You can change them yourself.
Email, social posts, search and ads, planned with you and run for you or handed over, so people keep coming in.
A small custom app, AI on the repetitive work, or just a better checklist. I'll tell you which one you actually need.
You own all of it: the look, the store, the accounts and the know-how. Book a day, a week or a month at a time, and stop whenever you like.
I go through your site, store and marketing, then send you a personal video walkthrough of what you're missing and what I'd do, with mockups, within 3 business days. In the Livingston area? I'm happy to stop by for a 15-minute chat about what's going on first, no charge.
Ask for a reviewA day of focused work on your site, store or setup: the fixes from your review, a new page, a cleanup, a tool you keep meaning to set up. Book as many as you need.
Book a dayA new look, website or Shopify store, made with you over about a week and handed over with a playbook so you can run it yourself.
Book a weekAbout a day a week of work, plus quick questions whenever they come up. For marketing that keeps running, or a store that keeps changing.

Who's behind it
I've worked around products since 1997: building them, selling them, and running the stores they sell from. I was the first employee at Grace Design, where I ran production. At HeadRoom I went from the sales floor to President and CEO, and redesigned the website along the way.
These days I build with AI every day, from websites and stores to my own apps on the App Store. Matchbook, my creative studio, is how I put that to work for other businesses.
When we work together, you work with me start to finish. You won't get passed to an account manager. You talk to the person doing the work. I'm in Livingston, Montana, and I work with businesses anywhere.
A few lines is plenty: what you do and who for, your website if you have one, and what isn't working. I'll write back with what a review would cover and when I can do it. A review, not a sales call.
Your note is on its way to me. I'll write back with what a review would cover and when I can do it.
