David Kooi runs Skylark Creations, a one-person, AI-native product studio based in Colorado. He designs, builds, and ships apps and tools from zero to live—fast—using AI at every layer of the stack. Every project is designed, built, and shipped by one person working with a team of AI systems—reasoning partners for architecture, coding agents for implementation, and human advisors for taste and truth. He writes about AI, philosophy, and product strategy on Uncaged Minds. Previously, David co-founded and led Jointly (2018-2025), where he pioneered the Theory of Purposeful Cannabis Consumption and launched the world's first AI-powered cannabis wellness assistant. Before that, he founded and sold Santa Monica Mountains Cyclery to Trek Bicycle after 10 years of sustainable growth. He holds a B.A. from Northwestern University, a B.S. from Oregon State University, and an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
