Hey, I’m Samuli.

I help Solo Creators who would rather automate than elegate.

Over the last few years, I’ve tested alot of video gear, built home studios, and created automation tools to make filming easier.

I share all of it inside the Solo Creator System.

If you’re building a personal brand, juggling work and life, and want a simpler way to create videos, you’re in the right place.

Can You Really Make YouTube Thumbnails in 5 Minutes? (Here's How)
Go to my Youtube channel

About me

I’ve built businesses before, made plenty of mistakes, and now I’m building something smaller and more sustainable. Something that fits real life.

 
I used to run a handmade product business with a small team. We grew fast, but it didn’t last. After that, I helped build a digital product business with two friends. We scaled it past a million in revenue, mostly with paid ads, but it wore us down. I knew I wanted to take a different path.
 
Now I’m working solo, building my personal brand while raising a young kid and preparing for another. I’m focused on organic content, simple systems, and using the time I have as well as I can.
 
The Solo Creator System is where I share what I’ve built to make video content faster. I’m not teaching from theory. I’m sharing what I actually use, and what I’m still learning as I go.
