Where Creative Direction
Meets AI Orchestration.

I'm a Creative Director who orchestrates AI workflows to build brands faster, without cutting corners on thinking. I run two ventures, write about productivity and AI tools, and publish Oh So AI, a Tuesday and Friday newsletter for creatives who want to stay sharp.

About

I build brands.
I design systems.

By day, I work as a Creative Director and AI Strategist at Square Root SEO, an agency focused on B2B digital marketing. Alongside this, I run ByHarshal, my personal creative practice for founders who need brand identity, visual identity, and content strategy.

I use AI as a production layer, not to replace thinking, but to handle what slows it down. Research, first drafts, and iterations are where AI does the heavy lifting. Strategy, creative direction, and the decisions that shape whether a brand earns trust or doesn't: that stays with me.

Outside of client work, I publish Oh So AI, a Tuesday and Friday newsletter on tools and workflows without the hype. I plan the workflow, write the prompts, and make the calls that matter. That is what AI Orchestration means across the 80+ brands I've built.
