Closing
the gap.
I spent years watching small businesses make the same compromise. They'd find the least-worst software, spend weeks getting their team trained on it, and then quietly adapt their entire way of working around its limitations. Nobody questioned it — that was just how it worked.
It doesn't have to be. AI has changed what's possible — and for the first time, genuinely custom software isn't just for companies with a six-figure tech budget. The gap between what a 10-person team can access and what a 500-person enterprise uses has never been smaller. That's the gap I built Everant Studio to close.
Every build starts with the same question: what would this business look like if its software was built entirely around it? The answers are always more interesting — and more valuable — than anything off the shelf.
Most people didn’t get into business
to maintain software.
The work that actually needs you
is waiting on the other side of this.
I've watched businesses get that time back. The clarity that follows. The decisions they can finally make. The things they can suddenly pursue that were always on the list but never seemed reachable. It's not a small shift — it changes what a business thinks it's capable of.
and it changes everything.The tools should work around you.
Not the other way around.
Most businesses have adapted so completely to their software’s limitations that they’ve stopped noticing the cost. The workarounds feel normal. The friction feels inevitable. It isn’t.
I don't just sell this.
I live it.
Before asking any client to trust me with their business, I built it for my own. Here's what that looks like.
AI team
Every task that doesn't need a human — research, drafting, monitoring, reporting, scheduling — gets handled by Everant Studio's own AI team. Not because the goal is to do more, but because it frees up the time and headspace to focus on the work that actually moves the needle. The conversations, the builds, the decisions. The stuff that matters.
for a legacy industry
A complete software system — currently in final testing — designed from scratch around a genuine frustration that's existed in a legacy industry for decades. The kind of problem that always felt too embedded to fix properly. Until AI made it possible to build something genuinely better, from the ground up, without compromise.
Your own custom AI
workforce.
Built for your business.
Not a chatbot. Not a generic tool. A specialised team of AI agents — each one designed, trained, and tuned around the exact way your business operates. Working together. Every day. Built the same way I built my own.
Everant Studio runs on exactly this. Every repetitive task, every research brief, every piece of monitoring — handled by a custom AI team so Hayden can spend his time on the work that actually matters. Client relationships. Strategic builds. The things only a person can do. That's the whole idea — and it works.
Handles first-line enquiries, returns, and FAQs — in your brand voice, 24/7, without burning out your team.
Drafts product descriptions, emails, and social content aligned to your tone — ready to review, not rewrite.
Surfaces weekly performance insights, flags trends, and highlights what needs attention — before you think to ask.
Watches stock levels, flags reorder points, and keeps your ops team one step ahead of the problem.
Follows up, re-engages lapsed customers, and keeps relationships warm — without it feeling automated.
This slot belongs to your business. An agent built around your exact workflow, your clients, your language. Something that doesn't exist anywhere else — because it was never built for anyone else.
what it costs to run.
Your AI team runs on cloud infrastructure — the same networks that power the world's leading AI products. Reliable, scalable, and remotely managed. Running costs typically sit between $100–$500/month depending on usage — a fraction of what you're currently paying for tools that don't fit.
Your AI team runs on world-class cloud infrastructure — the same networks that power the world's leading AI products. Secure, reliable, and remotely managed. Enterprise clients with strict data requirements can discuss private hosting options on a case-by-case basis.
This isn't packaged software with a support ticket system. Every Studio Teams build is custom — designed from scratch around your business, your clients, and your exact workflow. That means it does things no off-the-shelf product ever could.
It also means that when something needs attention — a model update, a new workflow, an edge case nobody anticipated — you don't raise a ticket into the void. You message Hayden. Directly. And it gets sorted.
Everyone gets superpowers.
AI anxiety is real — and understandable. The fear that automation means redundancy is one of the most common concerns I hear. So let me be completely clear: Studio Teams is not built to replace your people. It's built to remove the work that wastes their time, so they can focus on the work that actually needs them.
Your customer service team stops drowning in repetitive queries and starts handling the conversations that actually need a human touch. Your marketing team stops formatting reports and starts making creative decisions. Your operations team stops chasing updates and starts solving the real problems. The goal is a team of 6 that operates with the output and capability of 20 — not a team of 2 that replaced the other 4.
While your team
sleeps, your
AI team doesn't.
Enquiries answered at 2am. Research briefed before dawn. Data flagged before your team walks in. Your AI workforce doesn't have off days, sick days, or timezone gaps. It's just always there — doing the work that doesn't need you, so you can focus on the work that does.

Not sure which fits?
Most people aren't when they first reach out — and that's exactly what the first call is for. Tell me what's frustrating you and I'll tell you honestly what makes sense.
No jargon. No pressure. Promise.You'll recognise
yourself here.
You know what you need the business to do — you just can’t get the tools to do it. You’ve tried the obvious options. They almost work. You’re tired of almost.
You have a product or a system in your head that no off-the-shelf tool will ever cover. You need someone who can see the vision clearly and build toward it — not someone who’ll talk you into a template.
Your best people are spending their time maintaining things instead of building things. The systems that were supposed to help have become the job. There’s a better version of this — and it doesn’t require more headcount.
I primarily work with clients across the US, Canada, and UK — but genuinely open to wherever the right project is. Fully remote, timezone-flexible, and built around your schedule.
Built on engineering.
Proven in the real world.
Studied Robotics Engineering at the University of Sheffield. Learned to think in systems — how things connect, where they break, and how to build solutions that hold up under real pressure. That foundation shapes every project I take on. The logic, the precision, the instinct to ask "why does this exist?" before building anything.
Spent years building what clients called "websites" — but were really businesses. Brand voice, digital strategy, complete online systems. Became the operational backbone for clients across the US, Canada, and UK. Top Rated on Upwork. 4.9/5. 100% job success score. Not just delivery — genuine partnership. The kind where clients send their friends.
In between, I've always made space to explore — working as a cocktail mixologist in some of the world's best bars, across different cities and environments. Not a detour. A deliberate way of keeping my mind sharp. Every new place meant absorbing a different operation fast — understanding what worked, what didn't, and how to improve it. Working alongside exceptional people in high-pressure, creative environments. Building a brand voice and aesthetic sense completely outside of tech. It keeps things in perspective, feeds the curiosity, and makes me better at the work that matters most.
Don't take our word for it —
take theirs.

Straightforward from
day one. Always.
No hidden stages. No surprise scope creep. Here's exactly what working together looks like — from the first message to long after launch.
30 minutes, no agenda. Tell me what's frustrating you — I'll tell you honestly whether AI can actually fix it. Some of the best calls I've had ended with "you don't need this yet, here's what to do first." That's not a sales call. That's the kind of conversation that earns trust.
A clear, tailored plan — defined scope, realistic timeline, expected outcomes. You'll know exactly what you're getting before committing a cent. This isn't a vague estimate or a template quote. It's a document you can read, question, and hold me to.
I keep you in the loop throughout — not with jargon-heavy updates, but real conversations about progress, decisions, and anything that needs your input. You're never left wondering where things stand. If something needs adjusting, I say so early — not at the end.
Full handover, team training, everything documented so you own it completely. But the relationship doesn't end at launch — it evolves. Your business will change, AI will evolve, and I'm still reachable when it does. Most of my best clients are ones I launched with years ago.
There's a right next step
