I'm overwhelmed
being a working
professional

(and ... mom, dad, partner, sister,

and I just
wish to get
back 30%
of my energy
to focus on the people right in front of me

About me

I'm passionate about systems design. I've spent 20 years building systems professionally, and now call Halifax, Nova Scotia home. Most businesses are sitting on solved problems they keep paying to solve — month after month, with their time. I find those workflows and turn them into ai systems that run themselves. The goal is to leave you owning something that runs on day one, without needing to depend on me.

Your Sharing Manager

Why "Sharing Manager"? Because a todo is never just a task — it's a decision about how you share yourself with the world. Send the email, make the intro, write the idea down: every item on your list is something you mean to give to someone (including yourself). Todo apps strip the someone out and keep the checkbox — a task cut off from its person loses its reason to get done. A manager works the other way around: the person comes first, the task is just how you reach them — and part of the job is deciding which threads to let rest.

Built custom to how your mind works, running on ethical ai.

"Managers aren't just for celebrities. They're for anyone who shares their talents with the world."

There's a trick to using ai as a force for good. It can't be scaled because it's custom to each heart. So the focus here is teaching you how to put together ai automations with the ease of lego bricks.

And we won't start from scratch. Here's where we start to give you back 30% of your energy.

The base setup of the Sharing Manager gives you:

  • A living priority list of your next most impactful actions (organized around your relationships, not a mechanistic todo list that never ends)
  • A knowledgebase assembled from your interests, expertise and conversations (a growing asset you can share with the world)

It's only the starting point to the Sharing Manager becoming the tailored support to keep your mind at ease and in the flow. And with your new confidence to put together ai automations, and the extra energy, your heart has everything it needs to use ai as a force for good.

And I teach you the automations as we go — you don't need to come in technical, you leave technical. Most people start smaller though.

At full depth, we sit with your voice together. I learn how you actually talk about your work, your people, your half-finished thoughts — the plans you never wrote down. From that, I shape your Sharing Manager to catch what you'd catch, on the days you have the energy to catch everything.

What it can grow into:

It all starts with you talking

  • Automations for the emails you keep meaning to send
  • Ideas you keep meaning to write down and never do
  • Follow-ups triggered by what you said, not a calendar reminder — "if he doesn't reply by Friday, I'll follow up" tracked on the condition, not the date
  • Something mentioned once, in passing, with real weight — remembered, the way you'd remember the day a friend went sober
  • Your scattered opinions on a topic, assembled into a coherent position — the way a manager preps you before press
  • Intros you keep meaning to make — not "these two people should meet" generically, but "this person could change the trajectory of that project you mentioned," the way a manager reads leverage, not just compatibility
  • A reply to feedback you disagree with — drafted to hold your position without being defensive, using Non-Violent Communication

Matriarchy OS

The research project of my life.

It hasn't been a straightforward path. I started my journey of using my technical skills for good with natural currency systems. I was involved in building sharing databases for rare genetic disorders, and a professional match-making service, amongst others. Even my most capitalistic project, InstantHero is a quirky platform for sending real postcards.

The common thread has always been connection, compassion and collaboration.

The way business is done is changing. The extractive paradigm of patriarchy is working less and less. No one wants to be sold, and real trust is ever more elusive. We're going back to the times when the wealthiest person is the one who connects the most.

The tools to support an alternative way of being are missing.

Want your own data to stay yours, not sold or scraped?

Most tools were never built that way.

Want the people you serve to stay a community, not become rows in a mailing list?

Try finding that platform.

Want to sell without manipulation or intrusiveness?

Good luck.

Want to focus on the person and not their wallet?

Your business might not survive.

Matriarchy OS is a collection of tools to make that alternative practical, more than just aspirational.

  • Local-first infrastructurebecause your data should live on your device, as the default.
  • Relationship infrastructurenot a step-by-step protocol for pushing people through a funnel.
  • Voice infrastructurebecause talking is how humans actually think.
  • Knowledge infrastructurebecause humans are wired to share what they know.
  • A Sharing Managerthat remembers you're human.
  • A way of teaching ai that doesn't assume everyone's a developertools you're taught to run yourself, not tools that leave you dependent.
  • A model of wealth built on who you know and what you sharenot what you've extracted.

It's not finished. I'm building it in public, one client, one relationship, one Apps for Matriarchy session at a time.

A coffee, not a pitch

You don't start at the deep end. Most people start with a coffee.

$3.44 — the price of a coffee — for 30 minutes with me.

No funnel, no script, no follow-up sequence built to wear you down into yes. We talk about where your follow-through is actually breaking, whether a Sharing Manager is even the right fit for how your mind works, and what full depth would look like for you specifically — if you ever wanted it.

If it's not a fit, you've spent less than a latte finding that out.

If it is, this is where it starts.
