Credit to my good friend Ursula who introduced me to this concept, and to Julia Saxena, a wonderful past client who amplified the idea. Their own work manuals inspired me to create one for my clients.
My Core Values
I live by a few simple principles: straightforwardness (I don't sugarcoat), continuous learning (I'm always evolving my craft), authenticity (what you see is what you get), and family (they come first, always). I value freedom over structure and results over appearances.
The Essentials
I'm a technical specialist who works as a freelancer by design. I value my freedom, which means I can be available at odd hours but also means I'll f*** off to karate camp when I need to. I don't pretend to work—I either work efficiently or I don't. At 11am, if I've done what needs doing, I'm done for the day with zero guilt.
How I Can Help You
I specialize in making online businesses work better through:
- Automating repetitive processes that waste your time
- Creating personalized user experiences for your email subscribers
- Building effective onboarding sequences that convert
- Transforming your launch-based business into an evergreen revenue machine
- Setting up data systems so you can make decisions based on facts, not feelings
- Finding and fixing the technical blindspots you didn't know existed
Communication Style
- I prefer async communication: email, Loom, or voice messages
- Don't expect answers on weekends
- I spot blindspots and potential failures from miles away (you might mistake this for negativity)
- I need clear instructions, then leave me alone to execute
- Unless I hear otherwise, I assume no action is needed from me
- Follow up if something seems to have fallen off my radar
What I Need From You as a Client
- Clarity on what you want to achieve, not just tasks to complete. Explain to WHY are we doing what we are doing. I might improve upon the system as a whole.
- Trust in my process: I'm slow and methodical for a reason
- Timely responses when I need your input
- Permission to be honest about what's not working
- Respect for boundaries: I deliver excellent work, not 24/7 availability
- Appreciation for efficiency: if I solve in two hours what others take a week to do, that's a feature not a bug
What Frustrates Me
- Meetings that should have been emails (or Looms)
- Transactional thinking: people aren't metrics
- Being asked "are you working?" when I'm thinking
- Pretending to be busy to justify my value
- Clients who want constant updates rather than results
What I Deliver
- Technical solutions that actually work
- Efficiency: what takes others a week might take me two hours
- Honest feedback even when it's uncomfortable
- Zero guilt when the work is done
- Systems that keep working long after I'm gone
