CONSULTING
HI! I'M BEE
I'm an Information Professional (MLIS) helping small business owners, creatives, and heritage institutions structure their data and build bespoke tools that eliminate unnecessary overhead.
By identifying workflow steps that can be handled by automation, I cut down the clicks and help small teams stay focused on doing what they love.
In my over eight years of experience supporting a wide variety of companies and institutions, I have learned a lot about what it takes to centralize and streamline a business' data so that it may continue to grow.
Let me help you build systems that work for you, so you're spending less time buried in spreadsheets and more time doing the things that drove you to start your business in the first place!
HOW CAN I HELP?
There are many ways an info professional like myself can make your life easier. I find they usually fit within one of these four major buckets:
1:1 COACHING
+ SUPPORT
Brainstorming workflow solutions, advising on data architecture decisions, guiding the creation of controlled vocabularies- this is the heart of my consultation work. With over 8 years of professional data work, I'm ready to lend an ear and help solve complex problems!
DATA CLEAN-UP
+ MIGRATION
Consolidating data from various tools, investigating missing metadata, correcting typos and accidental whitespace, ensuring consistency across your team's workspace, and verifying data is safely and accurately moved into your new tool.
EFFICIENCY
ASSESSMENT + MODS
Reviewing existing tools and workflows to identify redundancies and offer automated solutions to highly manual processes. Using tools like Zapier or APIs in your current systems, this service is about providing notifications, connecting data, and eliminating unnecessary and laborious work.
FULL SYSTEM
BUILDS
Let's build a tool that is totally your own! I can help connect your data sources into a centralized hub with dashboards, reporting, and automation!
PLEASE NOTE: I do not engineer SQL databases. This option will require a 3rd party tool subscription like Airtable or Notion.
