Creative Director AI Workflows Brand Strategy

Where Creative Direction
Meets AI Orchestration.

I have set up AI workflows for founders, agencies, and brands across India. The thinking stays with me. The production goes to AI. You get the output faster than you thought possible, without losing the quality that makes your brand yours. I also write about productivity, AI updates and Yourlife OS, and publish Oh So AI, a Tuesday and Friday AI newsletter.

Who I work with

The right fit for your situation.

You are doing everything yourself. You don't have the time to learn 20 AI tools. I set up the system that does the work, so you can spend your time on the decisions only you can make.

Your team is stretched thin. Margins are tight. I build AI workflows that cut turnaround time and keep your team focused on the work that actually grows the agency.

Your content is inconsistent. Your reporting takes hours. I create AI systems that keep your output steady and free up your team's time for the work that moves revenue.

Your team can produce more, faster, without losing the brand voice. I direct the AI workflow that gets you there.

What I do

Three services. One direction.

01

AI Workflow Setup

Map the work you are doing manually. Build the AI system that does it for you. Document everything and hand it over. Two weeks to live.

02

Website Design

From brief to a live website in 7 to 14 days. Built for AI, indexed and ready for search. Brand-aligned and built to convert.

03

Brand Identity

Full brand identity. Logo, system, guidelines, and rollout. AI handles iterations. I direct the strategy and the final calls.

About

You bring the problem.
I build the AI system that solves it.

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 110+ workflows I've built.

What I Write About

What "AI Orchestration" actually means

Most AI consultants connect the tools and hand it over. I do that part too. But I bring 12+ years of creative direction on top of it.

That means I understand the business problem first. Then I decide what the AI should do, how the workflow should run, and what the output should look like. The AI executes. I direct.

You get output that actually solves the problem, not automated noise.

How it works

Four steps. No surprises.

We talk about your problem. Free, 30 minutes, no pitch. I ask questions. You leave knowing what the AI system could look like.

Free Β· 30 min

I show you what the AI system will do, step by step, before you commit. You see the logic. You approve the plan.

Before you commit

I set it up. You see it working before it goes live. Two weeks, not two months. No surprises on delivery.

Two weeks to live

You own the system. I document everything so your team can run it without me. You are not dependent on me to keep it going.

You own it

Have a problem worth
solving with AI?

Discovery calls are free. 30 minutes. We talk about your problem and figure out if I am the right person to solve it. If I am not, I will tell you who is.
