I Spent 10 Years Watching Talented People Get Stuck. So I Built a Way Out.
I'm Desmond Baker Jr — founder of Digital Alchemy and DB Creations LLC.
For over a decade I've worked in creative education, and I kept seeing the same pattern: smart, capable people would buy every course, watch every tutorial, open 47 browser tabs — and still have nothing to show for it. Not because they weren't talented. Because nobody gave them a real system to follow.
So I went deep into AI and built that system myself. I created 340+ assets — original music with Suno, Afrocentric surrealism art with Midjourney, 27+ app blueprints using vibe coding tools. I realized the value isn't in knowing what the tools are. It's in having someone walk you through building real things with them.
That's what Digital Alchemy is. Not another course that makes you feel productive while you're watching and lost when you're done. A community where you build alongside me, live, every week. Where every project has your name on it. Where the women in this community go from "I'm not techy" to "I just shipped my first app."
I'm a Google Gemini Certified Educator. I've spoken on the main stage at AI Tinkerers demoing live builds. But honestly, the thing I'm most proud of is watching a woman in her 50s who 's never written a line of code deploy her first working app and say "wait… I made that?"
Yeah. You did. And you're about to make a lot more.

Five Things That Make This Different
Building Over Watching
Every class ends with something you made. Not something you watched someone else make.
Ownership Over Subscriptions
Everything you create here belongs to you. Your name. Your commercial rights. Your portfolio.
Systems Over Scattered Tabs
We give you one clear path — not 47 browser tabs and a prayer. Each week builds on the last.
Community Over Going It Alone
You're building alongside other women who are figuring this out too. Nobody's judging. Everybody's helping.
Results Over Knowledge
Knowing about AI is nice. Having a portfolio of things you actually built with AI? That's the goal.
The Alchemist Creed
I am not a consumer. I am a creator.
I don’t collect courses. I build systems.
I don’t follow trends. I design workflows.
I don’t hope for clarity. I architect outcomes.
My stack is intentional.
My skills compound.
My output has value.
I am done being vague.
I am done being passive.
I am an Alchemist.
