Tiny Digital Worlds: Small. Profitable. Location‑Independent. Yours.

"In a world overrun by noise and scale, I help Sovereign Creators practice 'Digital Soulcraft' by building something smaller and truer — Tiny Digital Worlds where your expertise becomes a crafted environment — a principled, durable, location‑independent business that compounds quietly. These aren't content farms or lead funnels, but digital sanctuaries — places shaped by care, ethos, and the commitment to serve people who care back. Worlds that emphasize relationships over transactions, trust over hacks." ~ André Chaperon

What I’m up to Now…

(Latest work and updates first.)

  • Tiny Digital World Builders (my member-supported paid tier of TDW) release:
    • Update: As these things tend to happen — especially with a technically heavy upgrade — I’m running late. Roughly a month, as it turns out.
    • This delay isn’t about perfectionism, but real technical constraints. I’m working on this full-time and moving as fast as I reasonably can, but I won’t release something before it’s ready.
    • This is, after all, work I need to be proud of.
    • Re-opening target: End of February. That’s the aim, but by no means a promise at this stage.
    • Originally scheduled to open on Friday, January 9th, 2026.
  • Working on an update to 🌱 The Integration (the ‘how to’ instruction manual for The Principles)…
  • Developing TDW-OS, an AI-guided Socratic system for shaping unique Tiny Digital Worlds (alpha/beta underway with founding members)…
    • TDW-OS: First two of six AI-guided modules released to members…
  • Exploring how to apply The Principles of world-building to a wider range of location-independent course- and expertise-based businesses…
  • Moving from Gibraltar to the UK (Bath)…
