Services
Below are short descriptions of my services. Click the links below or scroll further down for longer descriptions.
Repair. Life happens, things break, and styles change; plus, sometimes we all need a little help. There are a lot people out there that don’t want to bother with the small projects, but that’s all I do. I’m happy to explain what went wrong, what needs to be done, and show you how to fix it – or not, and I just fix it.
Maintenance. We all have the list of things we know should be doing (air filters, looking at you), but we don’t have the time for or are just a little daunting. Let me help.
Technology. I’m kind of like having someone’s grandkid help you out but with no attitude. Truly there are not stupid tech questions and I can explain the what, how, and why; I can also skip that. Either way, my mission is to make tech work for you.
Habit Audits. Together, we can walk through your daily regimen to find those irritations that have become routine and/or check-in on your tech security and use.

Habit Audits
Kind of like life coaching for your day-to-day habits. It can be amazing what we come to accept as normal. That squeaky door, the broken cabinet handle, the drawer that comes off the tracks – so minor until you realize just how often you use that door, open the cabinet, or jiggle the drawer back into place. I can quickly walk through your daily routine with you, find those annoyances that have become background noise, and fix them.
And then there are those tech things we know that we should do, but don’t quite rise to the level of importance to act on – until something goes wrong. Changing security settings, enabling multi-factor authentication, even updating passwords are all things that can be a slog without any reward. I can help you catalogue your digital life (judgement-free), identify potential security concerns, and make the necessary changes. We can also create strategies for regular updates to minimize identity theft and data loss.
