In my most recent project, I built Adviser Hub for Simply Academy, a UK mortgage-qualification training provider — a two-tier Circle community with paid-tier gating, Arlo and Dotdigital integrations, and full member journey maps, delivered as an 85-page architecture spec before a single space was created. Before that, I rebuilt The Monumental Network, a private paid peer community for founders, from a flat set of spaces into a 24-space, three-group architecture with a free-to-paid funnel, tagged resource libraries, and an automated audit-to-member nurture sequence. Most Circle communities don't fail at launch. They fail at month three — when the new-member excitement wears off and there's nothing underneath holding people in. No onboarding journey. No access logic. No paywall strategy that actually converts. Just a set of empty spaces waiting for someone to post. That's the work I do. I'm a Circle Certified Partner with 110+ community builds across Circle.so, Kajabi, Mighty Networks, Skool, and GoHighLevel, with a 100% Job Success Score and Top Rated Plus status on Upwork. What clients bring me in for: ✅ Circle.so community architecture — spaces, space groups, access groups, permissions, and member journeys that hold up as you scale ✅ Onboarding flows and member journey design — welcome sequences, onboarding checklists, automated DMs, and the path from new member to active regular ✅ Membership monetization and free-to-paid conversion — pricing tiers, paywalled and gated spaces, upgrade prompts, upsell paths, churn and renewal systems ✅ Purchase-to-access automation — website checkout → Stripe → automatic Circle provisioning → tagged access, with no manual steps ✅ Courses inside Circle — structure, lesson organization, free vs. paid access, and clean course UX on desktop and mobile ✅ Platform migration — WordPress/WooCommerce, Kajabi, Mighty Networks, or Skool into Circle, including course and content migration ✅ Automations and integrations — Zapier, Make, email/CRM (Mailchimp, GetResponse, Dotdigital), and GoHighLevel + Circle hybrid builds ✅ Engagement and retention systems — engagement rituals, re-activation logic, events and live programming, analytics and community KPIs ✅ Documentation and handoff — written SOPs and setup checklists so your team can run day-to-day without needing me for every change How I work: I ask questions before I build. I'll challenge a structure that won't survive month three rather than build what you asked for and let you find out later. Every project ends with a documented, tested system and a walkthrough — not a login and a good luck. I don't take every project. I work best with coaches, course creators, and membership owners who want their community to run as a revenue system, not something they babysit to keep alive.
