Douglas Campbell Agentic Systems Architect

Smarter systems.
More human work.

25+ years in design and automation, and I share what I learn as I build: custom solutions and team tools that handle the mundane tasks, so people can focus on what matters. Want to collaborate? Get in touch.

Projects & research

I learn by building.

The systems I run client and personal work on. Each began as a question about how people and AI should work together. The technical side (architecture, specs and experiments) lives in my R&D lab ↗.

All projects

Personal agents

Nexus Brain

One memory for multiple AI assistants, and a portal to oversee it.

Team collaboration

Soma Platform

A team portal for shared agents, custom tools, and knowledge.

App design

TeamCentral

An AI-powered app I built for a client, then launched for anyone to use.

My philosophy

The best technology doesn't replace people.

It gives them more room to think, create, connect and lead. I start with people and the work they care about, then bring in agents for the repetitive load. The goal: better days at work, not fewer people at work.

Human input

Builds relationships
Sets the direction
Asks the right questions
Makes the final call
Designs the workflow

AI agent

Chases the follow-ups
Writes the first draft
Digs through old notes
Acts on the decision
Copies between tools

People make the calls. Agents do the legwork.

Human at the center

AI should amplify people, not replace them. A person stays in the lead where it matters.

Design thinking first

Start with people and their work, not the tool. Build the smallest thing that helps, then grow it.

Responsible by default

Accountability, privacy and cost, built in from the first prototype.

Recent work

Where I've been putting my time.

One thread runs through it all: helping people get real leverage from AI & agents, while keeping human judgment, creativity and connection at the center of the work.

Fractional Chief Systems & Innovation Officer

Growth Science Capital Holdings

Building the AI systems the portfolio runs on: team portals, shared brains, agents and how they're governed.

Founder & Agentic Systems Architect

RAIZOR

My agentic systems studio: workflow audits, automation sprints and custom builds for founder-led teams.

Startup Mentor

UF Spark · Wertheim College of Engineering

About me

Designer, builder and systems thinker.

Industrial designer by training at RISD, including project collaboration with MIT, then more than two decades of brand, web and product design, events and marketing automation. Now it's AI, full time. My edge is translation: between what leaders need, how teams work, the systems that help, and then building them.

My background Resume

From the blog

Updates on agents, AI and human work.

What I'm building, the tools I'm testing, and how teams can put agents to work without losing the human side.

Let's build something together.

My GSC role is now fractional, so there's room for a few more conversations.
