AI Integration for Small Businesses
I design smart AI systems that handle the busywork
so your people can focus on what matters most:
your clients, your craft, your life.
smart systems. less busywork.
About
I spent three decades running small businesses in Atlanta: martial arts schools, fitness programs, a franchise operation, coaching practices. I know what it feels like to be smart, capable, and buried in work that doesn't need a human touch.
When AI tools arrived, I saw what they could do for people like us. Not replace us. Free us. Free us to do the work that actually requires a human being: connecting with clients, leading teams, making decisions, being present.
Now I help small business owners integrate AI into their real workflows. No jargon, no hype, no overwhelm. Just practical systems that make your business lighter, more efficient, and less mentally cluttered.
What I Do
I work with small business owners and their teams to find the places where AI can make an immediate, practical difference. Then I build the systems and train the people.
A structured deep-dive into how your business actually runs, what tools you use, and where the friction lives. You walk away with clarity even if we never work together again.
Email triage, follow-up automation, client communications, scheduling. The tasks your team dreads, handled in a fraction of the time. Results in days, not months.
Your team learns to use AI tools confidently and safely. Bite-sized, personalized, never condescending. I design every session for the person who is smart, capable, and completely lost.
The AI landscape changes weekly. I stay current so you don't have to, and I come back when it's time to level up. Think of it as a fractional AI team member.
Philosophy
"Humans should be peopling. Everything else deserves a better system."
I believe AI should make your business feel lighter, not more complicated. The tools are powerful, but they only matter if they fit into the way real people actually work.
I'm not here to build dependencies. I'm here to build capability. The best outcome is when your team can make their own informed decisions about AI six months after we've worked together.
I bring a coach's mindset to technical work: every person is creative, resourceful, and whole. My job is to meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go.
Let's Talk
No pitch, no pressure. Just a conversation about where you are, what's frustrating you, and whether I can help.
