Hi, I'm Marybeth, and I build the systems and AI teams that take a business off its founder's shoulders.
I work with women who have already built something real, the ones doing six and multiple six figures, who have become the bottleneck in their own company. I build the systems and the AI employees that carry the day to day, so the business runs on more than how much you have left at the end of the day.

How I got here
I grew up in a small town in Ohio, studied in Chicago, and moved to Vancouver for grad school in 2007, where I found my way into design and spent about ten years as an interior designer and sustainable building consultant working with passive house and LEED, before I started Sustainable Lifestyle Solutions in 2019. I also have a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, which turns out to be a strange and useful thing for someone who builds systems for a living.
I started out helping women create calm, beautiful homes with less renovation and more thoughtful redesign, and that work kept pulling me toward the thing underneath the clutter, which was almost always a system that had never been built. The physical spaces led to digital organization, the digital work led to systems and offers and the whole client journey, and before long I was helping women streamline the entire engine of their business so it gave them time, location, and financial freedom.
A business should not need its founder in every room.
By the time a woman is doing six or multiple six figures, the talent and the work ethic are a given. The real ceiling is the company itself, the way every decision, every fire, and every handoff still routes through her, so growth just means more of it landing on her desk. I build the systems and the AI operators that hold that work, so the founder gets to lead the business instead of being the engine that runs it.
This is the throughline in everything I do, whether I am speaking on a stage, mentoring founders through the Scotiabank Women Initiative, or sitting beside one woman rebuilding how her company runs.
Building the AI employees that take the busywork off your plate.
Most of the women I meet are already using AI, and most of them are using it like a smart intern they have to babysit, typing in a prompt, getting something back, and still doing all the real work themselves. I build the level above that. I build AI employees that actually do the job, trained on your business and your voice and wired into the systems you already run, so the busywork stops landing on you at 9pm.
I build them around the specific work that eats your week, so you end up with one system that holds and a digital setup that finally makes sense. That is what frees up your time, your location, and eventually your income, and it is why I run my own business on a small team of AI employees and a dashboard that keeps the whole thing calm.
A business that travels well.
The reason any of this matters to me is simple. A business built on calm systems is a business you can run from anywhere, and I have spent the last few years proving it to myself, working from Bali, celebrating birthdays overseas, and building Women Entrepreneurs Who Travel so other women have a place to do the same.
Freedom, for me, is specific. It is time freedom, location freedom, and financial freedom, and it is the whole point of everything I build.
Come tell me what you are building.
If you are building something real and you want it to feel calmer than it does right now, let's find a time to talk. I will look at where you are, we will get clear on the systems and the support that would actually help, and you will leave with a real sense of your options. No pressure, just a good conversation.
