let’s work together

Looking for help with your creative business? You’ve come to the right person! I’ve dabbled in everything, researched even more than that, and love a good spreadsheet.

I’m Cindy, an artist based in Portland, OR with a previous career in engineering. I’ve collected hobbies all my life, easily attributed to my previously undiagnosed neurodivergence. Ultimately, I’ve always wanted to figure out how interesting things work and how to do them myself.

My autistic brain loves puzzles, my adhd enjoys novelty, and the rest of me is always eager to lend a helping hand. Let me put my experience to work by helping you navigate your own creative pursuits.

Stuck on a problem or overwhelmed by options?

Project & Coaching Services

Need help sorting your thoughts and ideas? Not sure where to start? Let’s work together to identify your underlying goals, needs, and wants. Then we can build an action plan that gets you where you want to be.

Need help finding answers?

Research & Solution Services

Trying to navigate a new platform or getting lost in support docs, tutorials, and templates? I can help with research and distill the most important information into easy to follow steps. From there, we can build customized templates, spreadsheets, or processes to take the pain out of your workflow.

Looking for a fresh set of eyes?

Auditing & Optimization Services

Getting lost in numbers or drowning under too many files? Let’s build a system that works for you and make sure everything you need is easy to find when you need it.

What to expect

The Experience

01. Inquire

Schedule a free 15 minute chat with me to go over you’re project needs (prefer email? that’s cool too!). This time lets us make sure we’re a good fit. I’ll always be upfront about my skills and experience, and will make sure I’m the right person for the job.

02. Consultation

Ready to dive in? The Initial Consultation is when work begins. This can look very different depending on your needs and goals, varying from in-person meetings to email communication, or perhaps somewhere in between.

03. Get to Work

I’m always happiest when I’m finding answers and making things easier for folks. Once we’ve got a goal in mind, the fun begins (for me). Spreadsheets, planning, researching, organizing; all of these are things I can happily take off your plate.

these are a few of the things i can do

  • eCommerce – research and setup
  • build category/tag structure for shops or blogs
  • customized bulk import spreadsheets
  • distill support docs into easy to follow steps
  • connect to wholesalers
  • narrow down manufacturing options
  • research equipment, tools, or materials
  • build documentation and operating procedures
  • audit inventory counts
  • write copy for most needs
  • plan schedules for recurring tasks
  • optimize website/eCommerce navigation
  • assist in prioritizing tasks
  • navigate compliance documentation
  • edit copy for clarity and voice
  • develop training tools
  • build pros/cons lists
  • double-check numbers and calculations
  • write professional emails
  • test systems for errors or confusion
  • organize paperwork and records

This is just a starting point and I’m always up for a challenge. Don’t see your needs on the list? Let’s chat anyway!

anti-AI statement


AI is Theft.

I do not use generative AI in any of my work.
Everything I create is made using the knowledge and skills I’ve developed over a lifetime of learning and hard work.
I will not use AI in any consulting or coaching work, and I prefer to work with people who feel the same way.
