Where strategy meets creativity meets AI.
An AI apprentice. Adding new skills to a career built on getting software shipped.
I bring strategic thinking, strong execution, and genuine empathy to every team and client I work with. Based in Washington.
About
Product manager by day.
Maker by nature.
By day I'm a Product Manager, helping enterprises build software and get through big, complicated transformations. I've been getting software shipped for decades.
My creative side lives in Aletha Jean Studio, the family-run coastal art shop on Etsy I named for my grandmother.
AI is where the two finally come together. I'm using it to build small, niche apps for people the big tools overlook. The first is a scheduling and payments tool I built for my daughter's coaching. It opens to other coaches in December.

What I'm Building
My daughter needed
a tool. I built it.
She was coaching this summer while working two other jobs. Scheduling was a mess — texts back and forth, Venmo requests, calendar chaos. Nothing out there solved it without being built for a gym with a staff of ten.
So I built something. She's been using it all summer. It works.
In December I'm opening it up to other independent coaches and instructors who are tired of running their schedule through a group text.
One problem.
One solution.
Opening soon.
Coming Soon
Building Something That Connects People
I believe kindness is a practice, not an accident. I'm building a platform that makes it easy and genuinely joyful to connect with others through intentional acts of kindness. No matter how small.
The name is still TBD. The mission isn't. Join the waitlist to hear when it launches.
