I'm Zach Buscemi — a web designer and AI solutions engineer from Columbus, Ohio. I hand-code fast, conversion-focused sites and wire them to AI voice agents, CRMs, and automations that turn visitors into customers.
Recent builds — client sites, product concepts, and working apps. No templates, no page builders. Click through to the live demos.
Full multi-page site for a general-aviation airport: cinematic parallax hero ("A field with altitude."), runway facts tables, live-style flight board with weather strip, editorial journal, and a serif-display design system in aviation navy, bone, and brass.
High-end lakefront development showcase on Buckeye Lake: golden-hour aerial hero, lots & interactive map section, home tours, and a schedule-a-tour funnel — designed to sell million-dollar waterfront living.
Redesign for one of Ohio's oldest yacht clubs (est. 1906): heritage-forward art direction with the club burgee, sailing and dining sections, membership funnel, and a member portal entry — tradition made modern.
Lead-gen site for a Columbus managed-IT provider: animated network-particle hero ("IT that just works."), services and industries architecture, and consultation CTAs built to convert business decision-makers.
Dark, editorial brand site for a premium cigar house: dramatic product photography, serif display type ("Heavy is the head that wears the crown."), cigar catalog, store, events, and retailer locator.
Conversion-first site for a family-owned garage door company: same-day-service messaging, click-to-call everywhere, online scheduling, FAQ, and trust signals — built to turn emergencies into booked jobs.
A working outbound-sales platform I built and use for my own studio: lead finder and verification, campaign builder, send queue with daily limits, reply inbox with priority detection, and pipeline forecasting — backed by a local database and OAuth email sending.
Bold conversion site for a short-form video agency: neon brand mark, phone-mockup reels, "The clipping engine behind daily content momentum" positioning, process breakdown, and strategy-call funnel for TikTok/Reels/Shorts clients.
Trust-first redesign for a wealth management practice: office photography hero, "Fulfill your financial future with more clarity," services, retirement calculators, insights, and scheduling — designed to make a boutique advisor feel established.
Editorial redesign for a hardwood veneer manufacturer (est. 1970): "North American hardwood veneer, cut with uncommon precision." Serif display type, plant photography, FSC sustainability story, and a quote pipeline for global B2B buyers.
Modern storefront for a Columbus commercial kitchen supplier serving Ohio since 1902: shop, kitchen design services, leasing, and cart — "Equip the kitchen. Open with confidence." Heritage brand, contemporary conversion design.
Two additional fully-built directions for the Houston Southwest Airport brief: a bold editorial take ("Houston access without the commercial airport drag.") and a cinematic hangar-photography version — three complete concepts for one client across this portfolio.
How I pitch: instead of a PDF, the yacht club got an interactive proposal microsite — design direction, live lake conditions, a roof-camera preview, and a member-first reservations concept. Selling the redesign with a redesign.
Personal-finance app concept with a point of view: "Know what changed before it becomes a problem." Safe-to-spend engine, budget health by category, anomaly signals ("dining is 38% above baseline"), cards, and goals — a complete product UI, not just a dashboard template.
Complete single-page redesign for a Columbus video production company, built in brand-accurate navy and brick red pulled from their logo. Split hero, animated stat counters, service grid, client marquee, and a four-step process section — fully responsive.
A second fully realized direction for the same client: dark cinematic theme with gold accents, film-grain texture, sprocket-tape motif, scroll-reveal animations, and a frosted sticky nav. Two complete visual directions from one brief — that's range.
Most designers stop at the mockup. I deliver the site, the automations behind it, and the AI that answers the phone.
I run a small web design and AI automation studio out of Columbus, Ohio. My clients are real businesses — production companies, service companies, local operators — and my job is simple: make them look great online and make sure no lead slips through.
That means I don't just design a homepage. I build the site, connect it to a CRM, wire up an AI receptionist that answers calls 24/7, and automate the follow-up. One person, full stack, from pixel to phone call.
I'm self-taught and proud of it — everything on this page was learned by shipping, not by sitting in lectures. If you want someone who moves fast, communicates clearly, and treats your business like their own, let's talk.
