Oh hey there!

I'm a foodie, a wacky dancer, and a lover of wine. If you don't know me well yet, you probably won't understand my humour and love for a good spreadsheet.... therefore, I apologize in advance.

I'm passionate about design and planning tools that just make life better, but more importantly, sharing my expertise and knowledge with you so you can crush your own projects, wherever you may be in your own journey.

I'm so glad you're here!
