I run creator growth and build the systems behind it.

At Kazuo, I ran creator programs across two mobile apps — and built the payout and support infrastructure underneath them. The numbers below come from that work.

Creator programs and the systems that kept them running.

I built creator programs across two mobile apps.

AscendMax went from zero to 100+ signed creators in about two months. Tethered reached about 30M views a month at roughly $0.54 effective CPM. As the programs grew, I built the payout and creator-support infrastructure they needed.

I ran a 1,992-creator gifting pipeline.

Each week, I sourced about 200 creators and coordinated 60-70 gifting packages. The campaigns generated 14M+ views and $80K+ in earned media value. After I rebuilt the follow-up workflow, the creator post rate reached 48%.

The 1,992 figure covers creators sourced, qualified, organized, and managed in Airtable. It does not represent 1,992 completed collaborations.

4%conversion rate

I built a DTC brand to learn paid acquisition.

I built the storefront, funnels, and Klaviyo flows with Codex and Claude Code. Meta is the only growth channel. During a 30-day scaling period, the brand generated about US$8,000 in sales at a 4% conversion rate on a high-ticket product.

Systems I've built

I design the workflow, use Codex and Claude Code to write the code, and verify what ships.

Creator support

Creator support required 2-2.5 hours a day of manual work. I built a custom RAG agent with discord.js, ChromaDB, SQLite, and the Anthropic API, then hosted it on a Hetzner VPS. It handled about 60% of tickets. Anything uncertain went to a human first.

I started with Minecraft videos and graphic design.

Before COVID, I grew a community in the Minecraft space as a creator and designer.

Now

I now TA Creativity in Business and Business Communications at UBC Sauder. I finish my BCom in December 2026.

Creative work

I have used Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere, and Illustrator for 10+ years.

Off the clock

College football and hunting for hot sauce — flavour over pain. For my dad's birthday, I animated his book and used ElevenLabs for the voice work.

Next

I want my next role to be on a team with people I can learn from.
