Helping local businesses
work better.

A practical outside perspective, with advice and useful tools where they fit.

Start with your business.

I offer an outside perspective to help local businesses improve how they work. We can walk through what happens today and where it feels repetitive, awkward, or harder than it should.

From there, I can suggest simpler approaches and useful tools, and build custom tools, integrations, or automations when they are an appropriate next step.

A few places to begin.

An outside perspective

Talk through how the work happens, what gets in the way, and what a useful improvement would look like for your business.

Practical workflow advice

Spot repetitive steps, awkward handoffs, or tools that add effort. Explore simpler approaches and better ways to use what you already have.

Useful tools where appropriate

Build focused custom tools, integrations, and automations around a suitable task. AI is one option to consider when it offers a useful addition.

From a frustration
to a practical next step.

  1. 01

    Understand the work

    Start with what happens today, who does the work, and where it becomes repetitive or frustrating.

  2. 02

    Explore practical changes

    Consider a clearer process, a simpler approach, or a better use of existing tools alongside any useful technical options.

  3. 03

    Choose a suitable next step

    That might be practical advice to put into use, or a defined piece of implementation: a custom tool, integration, or automation that helps with the task.

My own software.

My public apps, including Carafe and FocusBurrow, give a sense of how I approach focused software and understandable interfaces.

slowing you down.

A short description of the task, the tools you use, and where it gets stuck is a good start.
