Licensed freight forwarder + DTC founder. Operator, not consultant Most freight people don't understand what happens after the container clears customs. Most ecommerce consultants have never read a bill of lading. I'm one of the few people who does both, every day, in my own businesses. **By the numbers** • 5+ years running North Star Global, our family's NVOCC-licensed freight forwarder with a Chicago warehouse and proprietary shipment tracking platform • 4 years building Crystal Clean, a premium DTC cat litter brand on Shopify + Amazon — personally configured the full stack (Shopify, Recharge, Klaviyo with 11 live flows, Okendo, Smile io, Meta Ads) • Full landed-cost models built from scratch (HTS classification, 2026 tariff stack including Section 232/301 and IEEPA, 40HQ container economics) • 24-month cohort retention models with LTV, CAC payback, and ad spend scenarios **What I help with** • Amazon FBA — listings, review velocity, Subscribe & Save, account health, shipment planning • Shopify DTC — theme customization, Klaviyo flows, Recharge subscriptions, referral programs, post-purchase optimization • Meta paid acquisition — creative strategy, account structure (Andromeda), budget pacing • Supply chain design — sourcing, freight forwarding, customs, 3PL, landed-cost reduction • Ecommerce financial modeling — unit economics, cohort retention, P&L, forecasting **How I work** Project-based or fractional. I'll tell you up front if I'm not the right fit, I don't take engagements where I can't move the needle. When I'm in, I move fast, document as I go, and communicate issues with a fix already proposed. Send me a message with what you're working on. I respond within a few hours. Thanks, Greg

Hi! I’m Claire, a Notion & Airtable Consultant with 4+ years of experience building operational systems for businesses and teams. I help clients turn the way they already work into a clear, connected system-whether that means project and task management, a CRM, knowledge base, team dashboard, client portal, or a more complete operations workspace. I can help with: • Notion and Airtable workspace design • Project, task, CRM, and client-management systems • Knowledge bases and SOP hubs • Dashboards, forms, formulas, and automations • Softr client portals and internal tools • Existing workspace cleanup and restructuring • Zapier, Make, and other integrations I work across Notion and Airtable, building interconnected databases, dashboards, templates, formulas, forms, native automations, and connected workflows. When a system needs a more polished or controlled user experience, I use Softr as the frontend layer over Notion or Airtable to build client portals, member portals, directories, internal tools, and role-specific dashboards. I always look first at what can be accomplished within the platforms you already use, then bring in additional tools or integrations when they are genuinely the best solution. My approach is highly user-focused. I design the backend to handle the complexity so the day-to-day experience feels straightforward, intuitive, natural to how your team already works—and genuinely enjoyable to use.
