Zen teaches us: Presence over pressure. Flow over force. Adaptation over optimization.

Agile Methods teach us: Iteration over perfection. Empirical process over rigid planning. Retrospection over regret.

Together, they create: Systems that breathe with your energy cycles. Workflows that adapt to your attention patterns. Accountability that removes shame from the
equation.

This isn’t just about becoming more disciplined. It’s about becoming more deliberate. It’s about building a business that works with your brain instead of against it.

I know all about executive dysfunction — from the inside and the outside.

Missed appointments. Misplaced documents. Always behind, always apologizing, always trying harder — and still getting buried.

Everyone around me seemed to manage just fine. I thought I was broken.

After I got my driver’s license at 18, I misplaced it and had to get it replaced four times over the next six years. After the last time, the DMV said they’d investigate me for fraud if it happened again.

That was my wake-up call. My “forgetfulness” wasn’t quirky anymore — it was chaos.

Over time, I stopped trying to be someone else and started building a way of working that fit me.

Getting my Scrum Master certification gave me the final structure I needed to turn that into a system — and then into a business.

I’ve run multiple businesses. Helped creatives and startups launch websites, publications, studios.

I’ve pivoted — when my health demanded it, when the world fell apart, when I had to. I’ve worked in rescue shelters, mucked horse stalls, studied Zen, read philosophy, cleaned up messes — inner and outer.

Now I help people like me — creative professionals with messy, powerful minds, and the businesses they create — build workflows that fit who they are, not some idealized version they were told they “should” be. From structuring your week to rewiring your response to inertia, I’m here to help you stop fighting your brain and start working with it.

Traditional business culture often operates on a narrow set of assumptions: consistency, extroversion, and neurotypical habits. It champions a rigid approach, rewarding those who can easily conform to fixed expectations. For many of us, this leaves us questioning our value and struggling to keep pace, wondering if we’re somehow “broken.”

Yet, history tells a different story. Before the Industrial Revolution standardized work into measurable hours and assembly lines, people thrived by creating businesses as independent inventors, artisans, engineers, and explorers. Their work was deeply personal, their processes unique, and their output reflected their individual genius. Today’s impersonal products, mass-produced and sold online, mark a significant shift from that era of handmade, human-centric creation.

In the 21st century, we navigate not just the legacy of industrial-era norms, but also rapid market shifts, economic volatility, and constant technological evolution. The old blueprints for success simply don’t fit the dynamic reality of today’s small business landscape, especially when coupled with the ever-changing demands of life itself. These multiple currents make small businesses more essential than ever, but also significantly harder to sustain.

If your brilliance thrives with a nonstandard business model, lifestyle, or learning style, you don’t need fixing. You need a workflow that truly fits you.

My work is about helping you design sustainable systems and habits that honor your unique rhythm and strengths, empowering you to achieve consistent, joyful output without shame or the pressure of outdated ideals.
