Need a solution?

Are you a small business that's drowning in the day-to-day operations of your business, instead of getting to focus on why you started your business in the first place?I can help!I want to make your day-to-day business life easier by designing custom databases, automating your processes, and refining your workflows. I can deliver creative no-code solutions that uniquely fit your needs!

You may be asking "What do you mean by no-code"? No-code is simply a method of integrating multiple applications so that they appear to you as a single application instead of a desktop of chaos.
This is accomplished by using integration tools like Make.com or Zapier. And frequently, I will build out a custom UI that fits your purposes exactly.

Services
Database design

In today's world, we collect so much data - whether it's customer data, inventory data, or even just task data.If this sounds familiar, you may need a custom database. A database is kind of like a spreadsheet on steroids. Except, you can't wipe out your hard-worked formulas with an accidental click, and your sorting and display options increase significantly.Plus, with a database, you can integrate all the data from other applications into one centralized place.If your data is overpowering you, I can recommend and design a database to tame it!

Automated workflows

So many applications - accounting, marketing, planning, task management, project management. The list goes on & on.Did you know that many of the apps you use in your day-to-day business can be connected and automated?I would love to help you get out of the weeds by automating your day-to-day processes, so you can focus on what's really important! I can help with social media content & calendars, project management, inventory management, scheduling, sales, and more!

examples

I use Airtable's built-in integrations, along with Make.com (formerly Integromat) and Zapier to integrate applications and automate workflows. Here is a list of some of the apps I have worked with:

Don't worry if your app isn't in one of these lists - there are often other alternatives. Contact me to discuss!

documentation & training

Do you need your processes documented? Or to train employees on existing or new processes? Whether you need traditional documentation, web pages, or simple video training, I can help.Documentation and training are offered as an option on all database and no-code projects. Also available as a stand-alone service.

Need to brainstorm?

Do you just need someone to run your ideas by? Are you looking for an opinion on a business idea or need someone to help you come up with one?I have always been known as an idea person. In fact, one of my hobbies is taking a look at my environment and figuring out what kind of business is missing!If you're trying to figure out how to start or expand a business, need some help researching, or just need someone to quickly build out a website, sign up for a free 30-minute consultation to discuss how I can help you succeed.

Feathery.io - February 15, 2023:
Tired of the lack of features on some of those other form applications? Or that collaboration is practically impossible? Enter Feathery, a tool that gives you more control over your forms appearance, and even offers A/B Testing!
I love Feathery's interface and the control I have over each element, from Properties with where you can manage the logic for each element individually. Same for Style - each element is managed individually without any need to write CSS to override the form's defaults!

Airtable - January 15, 2023:
I can't begin to list all the reasons that Airtable is a fantastic app. But, one of the most important things is that they are constantly innovating and adding new features to the platform. And everyday, their Interface builder is getting new features.
