Digital Alchemy is based in Maywood, Illinois, in the Chicago metropolitan area. Teaching happens online through live sessions and a community platform, so students join from anywhere. Consulting and workshop clients are served across the United States, with in-person work available in and around Chicago.
The Digital Alchemy learning program includes lifetime access to the community, live build sessions and workshops, six practical learning tracks, direct feedback on your work, and project blueprints you can adapt and keep. The six tracks cover AI music, AI visual design, digital security, vibe coding, AI video, and turning those skills into paid work.
Digital Alchemy costs $300 as a one-time payment for lifetime access to the learning community. That covers live build sessions, all six learning tracks, community feedback, and future blueprints, with no recurring subscription. Consulting and custom build work is priced separately, starting at $50 for a fast-start website.
A Digital Alchemy cohort is a live program where you build and deploy real work with AI, starting from no coding background. Sessions are taught live with the whole group building at the same time, and every session is recorded. Enrollment is currently closed while the next cohort is scheduled, and dates go to the waitlist first. It is separate from the lifetime community.
No. Digital Alchemy is built for people with no coding background, and no prior programming or design experience is required. Sessions are taught in plain language, and you start by building something rather than by studying theory. If you can describe what you want and follow steps, you can do the work.
Digital Alchemy teaches Claude and Google AI Studio for planning and building, Lovable for visual app building, Vercel and GitHub for shipping and storing code, Suno for AI music, Midjourney for AI art and visual design, Make.com for automation, and NotebookLM for research. The focus is on using these tools together in real workflows.
Vibe coding is building real, working software by describing what you want in plain language to an AI tool, then iterating with it until the result works. It is not no-code. Real code is still produced, but the AI handles the syntax while you direct what gets built and why. Tools commonly used include Claude, Cursor, Lovable, and Bolt.
You own everything you build at Digital Alchemy. Projects carry your name, you keep the commercial rights to the music, images, and applications you create, and the work goes into your portfolio. Nothing is locked to a platform you have to keep paying for. Project blueprints from the program are yours to adapt and reuse.
Yes. Digital Alchemy takes on client work separately from the learning program. A fast-start website is $50 as a one-time payment, AI strategy sessions and team workshops start at $500, and a custom AI system built around your workflow starts at $2,000. Consulting clients contract with DB Creations LLC.
Digital Alchemy is for creative professionals who want to build with AI rather than only read about it. That includes designers, musicians, writers, marketers, coaches, and small business owners who have ideas but no technical background. It also serves teams and small businesses that want AI workflows built or explained by someone who teaches for a living.
