My first business was behind the camera, and thanks to the right website and systems, it now runs mostly in the background — bringing in clients while I focus on helping solopreneurs like you build brands that book.

Whether I’m behind the lens or behind a screen, I’m all about finding simpler, smarter ways to grow a sustainable business — with clear messaging, clean design, solid boundaries, and a little help from AI.

Because between carpools, practice runs, and Knowledge Bowl meets, I need a business that works even when I’m not.
