About
Hi, I'm Kendell. I build websites — and I help people actually use AI.
Independent studio out of Utah. By day at Adobe, I'm the person people come to for getting real work done with AI — and I teach others to do the same.
The story
I use AI all day at work — then build with it after hours.
By day I work at Adobe. My specialty isn't building AI models — it's usingAI well in everyday work, and helping the people around me do the same. I've become the person colleagues come to when they want to actually get something done with Claude.
A lot of that is teaching people to build their own small tools — the assistants, prompts, and workflows that quietly remove hours of busywork from their week. No engineering background required; just knowing how to point AI at the right problem.
Kendell's Studio is where I put that to work on the web. I design and build sites hands-on — and because I live in these tools every day, every site is built to be found and quoted by AI search, not just to look good.

Where the AI side comes from
I'm not an AI engineer — I'm a heavy daily user who teaches others. That practical, in-the-trenches perspective is what shapes both the sites I build and the coaching I offer.
What I believe
Three things I refuse to compromise on.
01
Speed is a feature.
AI lets one person move at the speed of an agency. I use it for exploration, copy drafts, layout iteration, and debugging — so the finished work ships in weeks, not quarters.
02
Craft stays human.
AI accelerates exploration. The final pixel decisions, the type tuning, the motion timing — those are mine. AI gives us 10× options to choose from; taste is the part that doesn't outsource.
03
Built for what's next.
Every site I ship is optimized for AI search — structured data, llms.txt, semantic HTML, content shaped for LLM quotability. When someone asks ChatGPT for a recommendation in your space, you're in the answer.
What I build with
The stack.
Mature, fast, AI-friendly tools — picked because they're the best fit for the work, not because they're trendy. Open to your team's preferences if you have them.

Want a site that earns its hosting bill?
I take a small number of projects each quarter. The intake form takes about three minutes and gives you a live cost estimate before you submit.
