About
25 years bringing brands to life online.
Now I'm helping businesses thrive with AI.
I'm Jamie McDonnell — a Senior UI/UX Designer and Full-Stack Developer based in Prague. I've spent 25 years bringing digital brands to life on web and mobile platforms for startups, agencies, and global brands. Over the past 2-3 years, I've been working closely with AI as it's transformed the way businesses operate — and now I help small businesses navigate that revolution.
Why I started this consultancy
When AI coding tools like Claude and Cursor hit the mainstream, something clicked. Tasks that used to take me days were done in hours. Entire applications were built in a fraction of the time. My 25 years of building for web and mobile didn't become obsolete — it became supercharged.
I realised that if AI could transform how a seasoned developer works, imagine what it could do for a small business owner juggling a dozen responsibilities. The problem is that most business owners don't know where to start — and the AI landscape is noisy, confusing, and full of hype.
That's where I come in. I cut through the noise and show you exactly which AI tools will make a real difference to your specific business. No jargon. No hype. Just practical, proven solutions.
What makes me different
I build, not just advise
I'm not a management consultant who's read about AI. I use these tools every single day to build real products.
I speak your language
After 25 years of client work across web and mobile, I know how to explain technical concepts in plain English. You'll never feel talked down to.
I've seen every tech wave
From dial-up to mobile to cloud to AI — I know which trends matter and which are noise. AI is the real deal.
I can implement, not just strategise
If you need the tools set up, integrated, or custom-built — I can do that too. End-to-end support.
