Run your business. Don't let your business run you.
Hi there, I’m Alaia – a Business Systems Strategist and Organizer. I help businesses run more efficiently and effectively. How do I do that? I identify and eliminate time sucks and money wasters in your business. In their place, I develop systems, workflows and automations that help you create and maintain an organized business. With over a dozen years of experience organizing (I started out organizing homes and offices before moving on to systems and back end operations), I’m adept at cutting the fluff and implementing streamlined systems that work for you.

I am an entrepreneur, procrastinatrix, community cultivator, and lifelong learner. I speak and write about business and networking, Los Angeles and whatever other topics strike my fancy (they will likely involve food, music, or books). I love technology and social media, but one of my favorite things is connecting with people through events and gatherings.
If you ask my clients what I've done for them, the common answer is, “she helps me get things done.” I've been called an organizer, strategist, project manager, online business manager and more. No matter what the label, at the heart of it, my goal is to take you from stuck, stalled and struggling with overwhelm and help you get to a place where you can run your business with a greater sense of calm, clarity and confidence.
Whether you have questions about which kinds of systems will make your life easier, you need help navigating through a sticky project, or you just want to outsource the parts of your business that drive you up the wall, I'm here to help make it happen.
What excites me most about my work is getting the chance to partner with people who are putting good work out into the world. People who are passionate about what they do, want to get better at doing it, and want the world to know about it.
Let's Talk About Your Business.
