From 'Everything Lives in My Head' to Calm, Reliable Systems
When everything lives in one person's head, that person becomes the system. ⚡ Every question comes to them. Every dropped ball lands on them. Every vacation is a risk. 🌴 I help swamped founders and small teams get out of that mode by building simple, reliable Notion systems. One place where information lives, tasks have owners, and nothing falls through the cracks. 🛠️ What I've built For a portfolio case study modeled on a real studio brief, I designed a Notion workspace where the owner has full financial visibility: billing, payments, what's outstanding, while the team sees a clean project view with none of that exposed. For four years I managed two vacation rental properties remotely, coordinating five platforms into a single operation. Guests repeatedly called the check-in process "seamless" and said they didn't need to contact me because everything was already answered. That's the standard I build to. Two clients from entirely different contexts, a $5 task and a former Apple and Netflix executive, independently described my work as "above and beyond" without prompting. I bring the same attention to both. 🧠 Why my background matters My degree is in philosophy, not computer science, which means I'm trained to see patterns, question assumptions, and turn chaos into clear, logical structures. I think in systems and stories simultaneously. I look for the story your business intends to tell, find where your customers' actual experience diverges from it, and build the systems that close the gap. I tend to be the person people come to when they're stuck and don't know what to reach for. At a multilingual research firm, I was the one colleagues and managers came to when something wasn't working. Not because it was my job title, but because the answer was reliably there. The thread across all of it: I don't just catch what's wrong on the surface. I catch what's actually happening underneath. 🧰 My toolkit Notion, Google Workspace, Calendly, templates, and light automation only where it genuinely saves time. Intentionally low-code: your team shouldn't need a developer to update a workflow or find a file. 👇 Let's talk if: - Your current "system" is memory plus Slack messages - You've tried to get organized before and watched it fall apart - You want someone who explains their decisions clearly and builds for the person who comes after them Tell me what's currently living in your head that you'd like to be free of. I'll tell you if it's something I can systematize, or point you elsewhere if it's not.
