AI consulting in Toronto.
Local enough to drive to your office. Quiet enough that you'll wonder why nobody told you about it sooner.
Where I work
Brenden Fletcher. Based in Toronto, Ontario. UX certificate from York University. A decade of design, marketing, and client web work shipped from this city before I started building with AI — now applied to the same kind of problems, just with better tooling.
Most engagements happen remotely. The work is software, and software ships from anywhere. But “based in Toronto” matters because the best engagements still start with a coffee in someone's office on a Tuesday, not a Zoom call with a stranger from the internet.
Cities I've shipped for
From the Toronto core out through the GTA — Mississauga, Markham, Brampton, Vaughan, Oakville, Burlington, Richmond Hill, Pickering, and the cities in between — I've shipped software for plumbing contractors, manufacturing teams, ecommerce shops, and B2B services businesses. Some of those engagements are listed on /work; the rest are private.
Outside the GTA, I have clients in the US too. Not region-locked. But the GTA is where the most thoughtful conversations have started — the kind where someone describes the problem twice in plain language before we ever talk about software.
What this looks like in practice
A recent build for a manufacturing client in Mississauga turned a ninety-minute morning routine into a ten-minute review. An accounting firm in the GTA wanted ChatGPT and got something more useful: a searchable index of their own knowledge. An HVAC contractor stopped losing after-hours calls to voicemail. None of it is flashy. That's the point.
