AI Creative Director & Vibe Coder | Games, Apps, AI Video & Voice

AI creative director and vibe coder: I direct AI agents (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok) to build working software and the creative assets that go in it. Games, web apps, interactive tools, custom AI agents, and the visual identity, video, and audio that make them feel finished. 58 Upwork jobs and 1,000+ hours delivered. Clients include ByteDance, Costco, healthcare orgs, and luxury agencies. Contributed to AI video work for the Michael Jackson Estate. 22+ years of creative direction plus production-level command of Claude, Claude Code, GPT-5, Gemini, Grok, Google Veo 3, Kling AI, Runway, Midjourney, Flux, ElevenLabs, Suno AI, Nano Banana 2, and Photoshop Beta. You brief the outcome. I return working builds and finished assets, not drafts that need a committee. WHAT I BUILD Vibe-Coded Software and Games Working apps, tools, and games built by directing AI coding agents, from idea to playable build. My current project is a full 3D survival horror game in Godot 4: AI-written systems, AI-generated 3D models, cutscenes, voice-acted audio journals, and an achievements system. I've done the direction and QA myself, managing a fleet of AI agents for code, models, and audio. Custom AI Agents and GPTs Prompt-engineered tools inside ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini that automate creative workflows, generate on-brand assets on demand, or run as interactive brand experiences. AI Visual Identity Systems Scanner-safe visual language, reusable prompt libraries, and style guidelines so your team can generate on-brand image, video, and audio without drift. Cinematic AI Video Ad-ready motion and game cutscenes with Veo 3, Grok Imagine, Kling AI, and Runway. Shot-level prompt systems, character identity lock, wardrobe consistency, and color-grade control. Used for luxury real estate, brand campaigns, and healthcare training videos that lifted engagement and learning scores. AI Voice and Audio Branding ElevenLabs voice production and Suno AI sonic identities that match the visual system. Prompt Frameworks for Scale Model-specific prompt variants, JSON-structured output, hallucination and consistency QA, and SOP-aligned pipelines your team can reuse across properties, campaigns, or markets. HOW I WORK Independent specialist. No account-manager layer. Clear scope up front, regular check-ins with working previews, and honest calls on what today's AI tools can and can't do before you spend money on them. Every output is tied to a business job: a working build, brand consistency, training completion, or production speed. If you need a one-off image, this is the wrong profile. If you need a product built, or a system that keeps looking like you after the tenth generation, message me with the goal, the audience, and any constraints. I will tell you quickly whether I am the right hire.
