A conversation with a ghostwriter reminded me who I’m building for.
I had a call this week with Rachel Bassey—a brilliant ghostwriter who’s helped all kinds of founders tell their stories.
At one point, she asked me something that caught me off guard:
“Wait… you actually build MVPs and prototypes for creatives?”
Yes. Yes, I do.
We didn’t build anything together that day.
But that question stuck with me—because it reminded me just how rare that answer still is.
The idea that you, a writer or artist or storyteller, could spin up a working tool for $99… still feels impossible to most people.
But it shouldn’t.
Carl Builds exists for people exactly like Rachel: creative professionals with ideas they’re ready to test, explore, and launch—without begging for dev time or burning $5k on a pitch deck prototype.
Just because you don’t code doesn’t mean you shouldn’t ship.
Let’s make building feel less like a gatekept process and more like the creative expression it should be.
