Janis Berzins · founder of Frest

Design, sound and AI, built as one system.

I design houses, interfaces, visuals and audio, and build the AI that runs the work behind them. Bring me one problem. Leave a 15-minute call with a next step.

What I do

Six strings, one ring.

Design, interfaces, visuals, sound, AI systems and teaching. Each one is stronger because the others sit next to it. Pick a bead.

About

Builder first. Then designer, then AI.

I run Frest, a design-and-build company in Riga and Ventspils. We design, produce and assemble timber-frame houses, and our team has built them in eight countries.

Running a construction company taught me where time really goes. Today a large part of our daily work runs on AI agents: visualisations, estimates, site studies, websites, meeting records and the back office. On Lanzarote I am building El Soco, walled estates in basalt and lime. Everything I offer here, I use myself first.
