We make your team work better with AI.

We don't build your product. We help your team set a design vision, scale how design works, and adopt AI workflows that fit your size and culture.

Where teams get stuck

Three problems we hear most

  • Everyone is trying AI, but nothing is shared.

    People test tools on their own. Prompts, results and lessons never become a team practice.

  • Design is growing faster than its process.

    More people and more projects, with the same ad-hoc reviews and handoffs.

  • Leaders can't see what design is worth.

    Without a direction tied to metrics, design is hard to fund and easy to cut.

What we do

Four things, done well.

Each one leaves your team able to keep going without us.

Vision

Design vision tied to metrics

A direction leaders can fund and measure.

For
Leaders who need design to show its impact.

  • A design vision and principles
  • A few metrics linked to your goals

Design operations

Rituals and standards that hold up as you grow.

For
Design teams adding people, products or partners.

  • Critique and review rituals
  • Shared design standards

AI workflows

AI operations

AI operations that last

Guardrails that keep AI useful after we leave.

For
Organizations that handle sensitive data or public trust.
You get
  • Clear AI use guidelines
  • Review steps for privacy and bias
  • Owners and a schedule to keep it current
How we work

Built around your team, not a template.

We learn your team's size, tools, culture and the rules your sector works under. Every step is fitted to that, and so is the price, which we set together after a free intro call. Nonprofits and AI-for-good start-ups get our lowest rates. Most teams start with the workshop, and you can stop after any step.

We fit every step to
  • Team size & structurewho does what, and how many
  • Tools you already usedesign, docs and AI tools
  • Culture & ways of workinghow decisions get made
  • Sector rulesprivacy, funding, public trust

Why Treehouse

We work on your team, not your product

Agencies build things for you. Courses teach general skills. We change how your team works, then step back.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you build our product or website?

No. We help your team set direction, improve how design works, and adopt AI. Your team keeps building, and keeps the skills after we leave.

What does it cost?

We set the price after a free intro call, once we understand your team, goals and budget. Nonprofits and AI-for-good start-ups get our lowest rates. You get a written quote before any work starts, and there is no cost to talk.

Who do you work with?

Right now we take on nonprofits and organizations using AI for good. We work with design teams and the leaders they report to.

Do you work in person?

We're based in Toronto. Workshops can be in person in the Toronto area or remote. Assessments and partnerships work well remotely.

Why don't you list your names?

We keep Treehouse separate from our other professional work. You'll get our names, LinkedIn profiles and full backgrounds on the intro call, before you commit to anything.

What happens after I book a call?

We talk for 30 minutes about how your team works today. If we're a good fit, we suggest a first step. If we're not, we'll tell you.
