Hi, I'm Karl.

Design, Marketing & Automation Expert

I build systems for growth — design, marketing, and automation working together to help businesses run better and convert more consistently. Most of my time lately goes into workflows, funnels, and creative direction that actually support the business behind it. Work with me.

Curriculum Vitae

I work across design, marketing, and automation — building systems that help businesses grow, operate better, and present themselves more clearly. My background started in IT, moved through support and freelance creative work, and eventually grew into a mix of systems thinking, creative direction, and marketing execution.

Present

Doing creative and marketing work, including projects with Adreo Montessori. Lately spending more time on automation — building with n8n and Zapier & seeing how far workflows can go for small businesses.

2025

Studied sales process and media buying. Started taking paid traffic seriously alongside organic strategy.

2024

Joined Adreo Montessori as their Marketing Lead, Creative Lead, and GHL expert. First full-time in-house role after years of freelancing. Responsible for brand identity, enrollment KPIs, and every creative touchpoint from stationery to digital funnels.

2022 – 2023

Took graphic design more seriously while continuing to freelance, and began turning photography and cinematography into paid work. Steady growth in client base — pediatricians, restaurants, and product startups.

2021

Went full freelance as a Social Media Manager. Grew one client from zero to 7,000+ followers and converted 80% of that audience into recurring monthly clients — zero ad spend. That result is still the one I'm most proud of.

2020

Worked as a Tech Customer Service Representative at Sutherland, Clark. Fast-paced BPO environment — taught me a lot about systems, troubleshooting, and staying calm with people.

2019

Took a gap year. The pandemic made job hunting nearly impossible, so I used the time to get serious about photography and cinematography. What started as a hobby started to feel like a direction.

2018

Graduated with a BS in Information Technology from STI College. The IT foundation ended up being more useful than expected — just not in the way I planned.

Now

This page should be like a quick update I'd give a friend when they ask, "What's new with you?" It's a simple way to share what I'm focused on — projects, interests, or life updates — without the noise of social media.

What I Do

I work across creative and systems —
the part that makes people notice,
and the part that makes everything run properly after.

Creative Direction

Brand identity, art direction, visual thinking.
Figuring out how something should look and feel — and keeping it consistent.

Design — Digital & Physical

Social assets, websites, and printed materials.
Things that are clear, usable, and made to last.

Growth & Funnels

Organic strategy, ads, and funnel builds.
Less about content, more about how everything connects and converts.

Automation & Workflows

n8n, GoHighLevel, Zapier.
Setting up systems so leads don't get lost and follow-ups happen as they should.

Tools & Web Apps

Small tools, internal systems, and custom builds.
Usually made to solve a specific problem or remove repetitive work.

Photography & Content

Events, brand shoots, short-form video.
Mostly used to support everything else.
