Problems I Solve

These are the situations I hear most often from nonprofit teams. If any of these sound familiar, we should talk.

Your website is frozen in time

Staff can’t update it without a developer. Content gets stale, events stay wrong, and everyone works around it.

You’re losing donors at the form

Clunky donation flows, broken mobile layouts, and confusing signups quietly turn away supporters before they commit.

Everything lives in a different spreadsheet

Nothing talks to anything else. Staff spend hours copying, checking, and reconciling data that should sync automatically.

Reporting is a part-time job

Pulling together numbers for funders and leadership each month takes longer than it should — and the output still isn’t great.

Your vendor has you hostage

Every small change costs money, the system is showing its age, but a full rewrite feels too risky and expensive.

AI feels like a question mark

Everyone is asking if AI could help. You need someone to cut through the hype and tell you what’s actually worth doing.

Problems I Solve

First Engagement

Every engagement starts small and earns the right to grow. Here is the typical shape of the first one.

01

Fit Call

A conversation to understand your situation, constraints, and goals. No pitch, no pressure.

02

Scoped Proposal

A clear, written proposal with deliverables, timeline, and transparent pricing.

03

Phase 1

A small, focused engagement. You see real output within weeks, not months.

04

Review

We review what was built, what worked, and what comes next.

05

Iterate

If Phase 1 went well, we scope Phase 2. If your priorities shifted, we part ways cleanly with a clean handoff.
