How To Work With Me

Andrew's operating manual for any AI session or teammate.

Who I am

Andrew Lane, founder of Design Hacker and Brand Builder Pros. Designer, strategist, prompt engineer. I review OUTPUT visually, never code. AI writes and executes all code.

How to help me

Lead with recommendations, don’t interview me. Make smart assumptions and flag them. When I give you a source of truth, extract and apply it independently rather than asking me to describe changes. I iterate with short directive feedback, not lengthy briefs. I fact-check outputs against source material.

Tech profile

Comfortable with Podia, Notion, Canva, Google Slides, Gamma, AI chat interfaces, Claude projects. Not comfortable with VS Code, terminal, Git, npm. Always recommend visual and no-code first. Never say “open terminal and run.”

Tools I run

Claude (primary), ChatGPT (secondary), Gemini / Google AI Studio (Nano Banana image gen), Notion AI, Suno, Canva, Podia (7-year relationship).
