After 13+ years building operational infrastructure inside brands like Target, The Honest Company, and Avaline Wine — I'm going independent.
I spent most of my career at the director level, owning the systems, teams, and processes that turn early-stage ideas into scaled operations across retail, CPG, and consumer goods. Go-to-market. Product launches. Creative ops. Demand planning. Cross-functional project management. I've run it all.
Now I work with founders and small business owners directly — as embedded operational support, without the full-time cost.
I'm both-brained: creative enough to understand how founders think, operational enough to build the systems that make it real. I don't hand you a deck and disappear. I get in, build with you, and make sure it sticks.
I offer five fractional services through The Goode Guide:
→ Fractional COO Retainer — ongoing embedded operational leadership
→ GTM & Launch Operations — project-based launch infrastructure
→ AI Operations Intensive — custom AI systems built for your business
→ AI Implementation Session — 90-minute done-with-you Claude or Notion AI build
→ Founder Operating Session — one focused hour to get clear on what your business needs first
Founding rates are available for a limited number of early clients.
If you're scaling but operationally overwhelmed — that's exactly where I come in.

RETAINER, run your service business on one link.
I built RETAINER to solve the one thing every freelancer and agency owner deals with: stitching Notion + Softr + DocuSign + ChatGPT and many tools just to onboard a single client. It's a mess and clients drop off between tools.
So I built one link that does the whole flow. Proposal, digital signature, payment proof, approval, client lands in their portal. End to end. No tools in between.
This isn't another dashboard template you scroll past on X. This is full stack infra for your agency, plug and play. Real database, real auth, real flows. Every button does something. Every screen connects to the next.
You get an admin panel to run everything: every client, every proposal, every invoice, every chat, revenue, team, AI proposal generator, escrow pipeline. Your clients get their own clean portal where they only see their own stuff. You can also onboard employees and give them access.
AI writes proposals from your meeting notes. Escrow pipeline locks deliverables behind payment proof. Chat per client. Plug in your service and start onboarding on day one.
Every screen designed. Every flow functional. Fully responsive desktop to mobile. Built entirely in Anything.
The hero video on the landing page? Generated with Anything's GPT 5.5 model. Came out way too clean.
Built for agencies, coaches, consultants, designers, freelancers, legal, tutors, anyone running a 1-on-1 service business.
This is my Anything Ship & Sell Remixathon submission. Once I get approval, launching it as a template on the Anything Marketplace.
🔊 Sound on. This video took a lot of work, hope you enjoy the submission.

Judges, hope this is the kind of submission you wanted to see 🙏
I spent four years leading creative direction for Nothing Is Wasted, building a cohesive brand system and multi-platform content ecosystem for a global, mission-driven organization. I translated complex, emotionally layered stories around trauma and healing into clear, scalable design and campaigns that actually connect with people.
Every business has a breaking point — the moment when manual processes, repetitive tasks, and scattered data start costing more than they're worth. NeuraCloud was built for that moment. An AI-powered platform that steps in as the quiet guide — automating the complex, predicting the next move, and giving teams the clarity to focus on what actually matters.
The brand was designed to reflect that same philosophy. No noise. No corporate jargon. Just a bold, honest identity that says: we see the problem, and we know how to solve it. Because the businesses that scale aren't the ones that work harder — they're the ones that work smarter.
Great job, awesome
