auto_awesomeAI Solutions Architect & Enterprise Enablement
One person.
Discretionary time.
Millions saved.
I build custom AI platforms that replace six-figure vendor contracts — then coach the teams to actually use them. Currently displacing legacy tooling at Fossil Group across their global luxury brand portfolio.
“Thank God somebody's thinking like that.”
— Shannon Freeze, Chief People Officer, Fossil Group
boltWhat I Do
Two capabilities. One person.
That's the point.
Bespoke Tech & Enterprise
Automation
I build internal web applications, dynamic campaign engines, and Google Workspace backends that replace legacy vendor bloat. No SaaS subscriptions. No agency retainers. Everything is built 100% around your existing tech stack — custom-built, owned by you, integrated into what you already run.
Human-Centered AI
Enablement
Technology only works if people use it. I run 1-on-1 coaching, team upskilling programs, and operational adoption strategies that turn AI from a pilot program into an everyday capability across your workforce.
monitoringThe Numbers
Reduction in production timelines — down to 1–4 days from 45–75 days.
Vendor costs displaced annually — agency retainers and SaaS licensing eliminated.
Hours of manual labor reclaimed per year across global teams.
workCase Study
Fossil PKE Intake Portal & Campaign Engine
How one internal build replaced an entire vendor pipeline.
Product Knowledge deck creation and campaign localization across Fossil Group's luxury brand portfolio took 45–75 days per launch. The process depended on agency retainers, manual cross-team reviews, and fragmented tooling that bled six figures annually.
Manual, slow intake
Product Knowledge content ran on disparate spreadsheets — 45–75 days per build cycle, every season, across multiple brands.
2 Supporting 5000+
Two people supporting global learning modules across Emporio Armani, Diesel, Fossil, and more — with no automation in sight.
Asset Bottlenecks Causing Delays
Builds stalled waiting on late photography, studio assets, and finalized marketing copy. No visibility into what was outstanding or from who.
Org silos, zero visibility
Cornerstone LMS and Product Knowledge assets sat disconnected from the commercial and sales org. No executive dashboard, no cross-functional alignment.
Redundant content creation
Creative, Merchandising, Sales, and L&D each built their own decks, line sheets, and catalogs from scratch — duplicating effort across every launch.
From fragmented to streamlined.
Every touchpoint below is real. Tap a step to see what actually happened there.
Without a design manager or dedicated production staff, all creative, project management, and execution labor fell to two Senior Instructional Designers — one supporting Fossil, Fossil Outlet, and Watch Station, the other supporting all 8 licensed brands. Nearly every step below routes through them.

The new architecture converts a fragmented, vendor-heavy relay race into a single automated hub that generates 3 immediate deliverables and dispatches 2 automated notification emails — in under 2 minutes.

constructionThe Build
I engineered a full-stack PKE Intake Portal on Google Apps Script, Gemini AI, and a Google Sheets backend — replacing the entire external workflow outright.
It automates intake processing, generates dynamic story cards with live previews, tracks asset uploads on a real-time dashboard, builds SCORM packages for Cornerstone, and runs its own localized Translation Memory engine for multi-market rollouts.
One source, many outputs — a single intake generates the SCORM package, product catalog, and sales-ready materials. Built once, reused everywhere.

dashboardWhat Leadership Sees
One dashboard. Every stakeholder.
The system doesn't just work — it reports. One executive dashboard, built to sit in front of leadership.

handshakeThe Engagement Model
Audit. Build. Enable. Lead.
ABEL — Audit, Build, Enable, Lead — is the framework behind every engagement. It was developed specifically for fragmented ecosystems: teams running on disconnected tools, duplicated manual work, and no single owner for the systems everyone depends on. Instead of one long rebuild, ABEL runs on agile principles and iterative two-week sprints, so working improvements ship early and the roadmap adjusts as real usage shows what actually needs to change.
Audit & Assess
I map your current workflows, vendor stack, and team capabilities, then assess where custom AI platforms replace cost and friction — and where your people need enablement to actually adopt what gets built.
Build & Architect
I design and deploy bespoke platforms — web apps, automation backends, content engines, executive dashboards — integrated into your existing infrastructure. No SaaS licensing. No agency retainers. You own everything.
Enable & Scale
I coach your people 1-on-1 and in teams until AI stops being a project and starts being how they work. The system works because adoption is built into the build — not bolted on after.
Lead & Evaluate
Once people are fluent, I evaluate what's actually working — adoption rates, hours reclaimed, dollars displaced — and report it back to leadership. That accountability loop is what turns adoption into a self-reinforcing capability that keeps compounding long after the engagement ends.
personMeet Mr. Noir
The force behind the tech
I'm Tino Noir — 20+ years across creative direction, UX, instructional design, and enterprise technology. Currently Senior Global Instructional Designer at Fossil Group, where I architect AI-driven automation platforms and learning systems for a portfolio of global luxury brands including Emporio Armani, Diesel, Michael Kors, and Armani Exchange.
I sit at the intersection of technology and human behavior. I build the systems that save enterprises millions, and I make sure the people who need them can actually use them. That combination is rare — most builders don't teach, and most enablement leads don't build.
There's a reason these global brands trust me with the builds that matter most.
Let's talk about what you're building.
If you need someone who builds enterprise AI systems and makes sure your teams actually adopt them — I'd like to hear about the problem.
