Freelance services

I design simple, repeatable systems — workflow design, process documentation, and SOPs — that help people get work out of their heads and into something that actually holds up.

What I do

Workflow Audit & Redesign

Not sure what needs fixing? I'll map how work currently happens, identify friction and duplication, and propose a simpler structure.

  • ·Current-state workflow audit
  • ·Bottleneck and duplication analysis
  • ·Recommended system architecture
  • ·Prioritized improvement plan

Automation & Integrations

Connecting the systems you already use so repetitive work can happen automatically, without adding unnecessary complexity.

  • ·Make / n8n / Zapier workflows
  • ·Automated notifications, handoffs, and data flows

Multi-Tool Operations Systems

Workflow systems built across the tools your team already uses, rather than forcing your business into one platform.

  • ·Asana, ClickUp, Monday.com, and similar workspace systems
  • ·Cross-tool workflow design
  • ·Migration and restructuring
  • ·Tool-specific implementation

Proof of work

Case studies

Real engagements, documented honestly — problem, diagnosis, the system built, and what actually happened, with screenshots where it's useful to see the work directly.

Work with me

Want your business's workflow to feel less like it depends on memory?

I'm early in this practice, and I'd rather say that plainly than pretend otherwise. What I can promise is real attention: a proper diagnosis before any system gets designed, and a system built to survive your actual week, not an idealized one.
