How I Design Websites With AI (and What AI Still Can't Do)
A behind-the-scenes look at how I use AI to plan, write, design and build websites faster, plus the parts that still need a human touch.

I've never used AI before. Is this for me?
Yes, this is exactly who it's for. Everything starts in plain English with no jargon and no judgment. If you can send a text message, you can learn to use AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude.
What does Color Me Happy Studio actually do?
I teach AI through one-on-one sessions, group workshops and free content; I help you create videos with AI; I set up AI agents that automate routine work; and I design websites and dashboards. All of it is explained in plain English along the way.
Which AI tools do you teach?
The everyday ones: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Canva's AI features and Notion AI, plus AI video tools and no-code builders for websites and automations. I pick tools based on what you're trying to get done, not what's trending.
Can you build my website or dashboard for me?
Yes. I design and build fast, modern websites and custom dashboards, and I walk you through how everything works so you're never locked out of your own tools.
Do you work with teams and organizations?
Yes. I run hands-on AI workshops for local government agencies, small businesses, ministries and community groups. Sessions are practical, so everyone leaves with something they've actually made.
