Small business consulting for shops, studios, and makers
I help business owners get a handle on their numbers and build systems that keep the business running without them holding up every piece of it.
Work with me →Picture this
It's Saturday morning and you're at the wheel (or the loom, or with a customer, or wherever you actually want to be) instead of on your phone.
It's Tuesday, you open just one app instead of four to know if last week worked for you. Then a wholesale inquiry comes in, and because you know your margins off the top of your head, saying yes (or no, honestly) takes ten seconds instead of a spiral and a text to your bestie (been there, done that).
It's Friday night and the workshop that used to fill by luck, word of mouth, and a little bit of prayer filled itself, because there's a system doing the work you used to do, one DM at a time, at 11pm, from your bed.
The business doesn't need less of you. It just stopped needing you for everything. You still made the thing, you just stopped being the only thing holding it together.
The problem
Nobody ever handed you a way to see what's happening in your business day to day, so you're making decisions on gut feeling: what's working, where your customers come from, whether that Instagram post did anything at all. It's a visibility problem, and it's fixable.
You love your work. The business side is another story.
You have customers, you just can't tell where they come from or why they stay.
You've been putting out fires so long, growing feels like a distant idea.
You have a website. Maybe social. You're not sure any of it is doing much.
You want someone in it with you, not standing over you with a clipboard.
If you're nodding at any of this, you already know what's missing.
About
You started your business because you loved the work, not because you wanted to be a data analyst or a systems manager. Somewhere along the way, the business side started drowning that part out anyway.
That's the gap I built Warp & Weft to close.
My job is to help you see your business clearly, without the jargon or the judgment.
How it works
Every engagement starts with understanding your business completely before we touch a single strategy.
We start by getting a complete picture: social analytics, web traffic, revenue streams, and customer patterns. I dig through all of it so we know exactly what's happening before we decide what to do about it.
I compile my findings into a full written report with prioritized recommendations. Then we sit down together and walk through it: here's what's working, here's what isn't, and here's the path forward.
Take the roadmap and run with it yourself, or bring me in to execute the first 90 days for you. After that, we can talk about what ongoing support looks like. You decide what's right for your business.

Tell me a little about where you are and what feels most stuck. I read every message personally and I'll be in touch within a few days. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute call: no pitch, just a conversation to see where you're at and whether I can help. Nothing costs anything until we both agree it's a fit.
