Results

What clients are saying

Carlos rebuilt my entire website from the ground up, added a chatbot, and now I'm getting leads at 2am. Whenever something breaks or I need help with emails or forms, he's on it. I don't have to think about the tech stuff anymore.

I just wanted to teach people how to make sourdough. Carlos handled everything else: the website, booking system, pricing, domain, hosting. I didn't have to figure out any of it. Now customers find me online and book classes without me lifting a finger.

Maeve Seward

+52% traffic

Carlos built our website from scratch, set up a chatbot, connected our CRM, got our email working, and even created individual pages for each of my agents. The whole system just works now. We're closing more deals with way less busywork.

About

Why work with me?

I spent 15 years as a classroom teacher, including nearly a decade in NYC public schools. I know how to break down complex ideas and make them click for real people — no jargon, no hand-waving.

Then I spent six years in tech, most recently at Brave, working on search APIs and business development. I understand how these tools actually work, not just the marketing pitch.

I live here. I'm not some agency in another state. I'm in Rockland County, I know the businesses here, and I care about helping this community figure out AI in a way that actually works.

When I'm not working with clients, I'm usually with my family, reading with strong coffee, or sketching out new ideas. I believe the best business relationships start with genuine conversations.

FAQ

Answers before we talk

If something is still unclear, just email hello@currentcreative.ai and I'll get back to you quickly.

What kind of businesses do you work with?

Mostly small and mid-size businesses in the Hudson Valley and Rockland County — contractors, professional services, retail, restaurants, nonprofits. If you're running a business and wondering how AI could help, we should talk.

I'm not technical. Will I be able to follow your workshops?

Absolutely. Everything I teach is designed for people who are new to AI. No coding, no jargon. You'll walk out of a workshop with tools you can use the same day.

What AI tools do you teach?

I focus on the tools people are actually using: ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and others depending on the audience. For businesses, I also cover automation platforms like Zapier and CRM integrations.

Can you design a custom workshop for my organization?

Yes. I build custom workshops and training sessions all the time — for schools, libraries, adult learning centers, and businesses. We'll talk about your goals and I'll design something that fits.

How does AI consulting work?

It starts with a conversation about what's eating up your time or where you're losing leads. From there I'll recommend specific tools and workflows, and can either set them up for you or train your team to do it.

Do you offer ongoing support?

Yes. Many clients keep me on a monthly advisory retainer so they have someone to call when they need help with new tools, troubleshooting, or planning their next move.

What does a speaking engagement look like?

It depends on the event. I do everything from 45-minute keynotes at conferences to full-day professional development sessions for school districts. Reach out and we'll figure out what makes sense for your event.

How much does this cost?

It depends on the scope. Book a free 30-minute consultation and I'll give you a clear idea of what's involved and what it would cost — no pressure, no surprises.
