Built by someone who gets the juggle.

I help women running service businesses find the time hiding in their business. Together we identify what's slowing things down, simplify the way you work, and use practical AI where it genuinely makes a difference.

I didn't start in tech.
I started by solving problems.

I started exactly where many of my clients are now, running a business, wearing every hat, chasing invoices, juggling family life and wondering how everyone else seemed to have it all figured out.

I wasn't looking for more software. I was looking for more time.

That's what eventually led me to AI, not because it's trendy, but because it solved real problems.

Like a lot of women I know, I felt that quiet pressure to figure it all out for fear of being left behind.

I know what it's like to be capable, ambitious, busy, and quietly overwhelmed. That's exactly who I built this for.

What I found was that the advice out there wasn't built for me. It was built for tech teams, marketing departments, and people with hours to spare. Not for the woman trying to squeeze a smarter business into the gaps between school pick-up and client calls.

So I started doing what I've always done - I problem-solved. I worked out which Al tools actually made a difference, which ones were overhyped noise, and how to explain them to someone who just needs it to work. I got good at finding the shortcut.

That's what Shortcut is. It's the practical, no-jargon help I wish I'd had, built specifically for women who are brilliant at what they do and just need someone to cut through the noise with them. Eventually, I realised I wasn't looking for more tools. I was looking for shortcuts.

That's why Shortcut exists.
