I’m a remote Creative Producer and Motion Design Lead who develops ideas, shapes visual language, leads production, and brings together the right specialist talent to deliver exceptional creative work.
My career began in graphic design before evolving through art direction, advertising, campaign development and production into motion design and moving image. That multidisciplinary background allows me to connect strategy, design, storytelling and production, giving me a holistic view of the creative process from concept to delivery.
I take projects from initial brief to final delivery, developing creative concepts, defining visual direction and overseeing production from start to finish. I’m comfortable working hands-on when required, but equally enjoy coordinating multidisciplinary teams, briefing specialist talent, managing suppliers, budgets and feedback, and bringing every part of the process together to produce cohesive, high-quality work.

If your Notion workspace feels messy, unreliable, or overwhelming, I fix it.
I clean up disorganized task databases, rebuild cluttered dashboards, and turn scattered views into a clear system your team can actually use.
Most founders don’t need more features — they need clarity.
I specialize in fixing:
• Tasks with no clear owner or priority
• Overdue items hidden or ignored
• Dashboards that look impressive but don’t support execution
• Systems that feel heavy, confusing, or hard to maintain
My focus is simple: clarity, usability, and execution.
I don’t just reorganize your workspace — I make sure it supports how you actually work day to day.
If your current setup feels chaotic or unreliable, I can help you simplify it and regain control.

I help agencies, coaches, course creators, and service businesses design, build, and launch sales funnels that generate leads, book calls, and close clients on autopilot. My work covers every stage of the funnel journey: Offer mapping, landing page design, lead generation systems, email sequences, automations, and funnel optimization to ensure nothing leaks.
With over 4+ years of experience, I’ve built funnels that consistently deliver 70%+ opt-in rates, supported a GoHighLevel white-labeled SaaS company that went on to win a SaaSpreneur Award, and worked with businesses across multiple industries including gyms, architects, SaaS founders, agencies, coaches and course creators. Clients rely on me to deliver fully automated systems that save time, increase conversions, and scale revenue.
When it comes to funnels, I build a wide range tailored to different business models. These include DM funnels for direct lead capture, call booking funnels that fill calendars with qualified appointments, webinar and VSL funnels that convert audiences into buyers, application funnels for high-ticket offers, and lead magnet funnels that grow engaged email lists. I also integrate the right automations, CRMs, and nurture sequences to make sure every funnel I build works around the clock.
Here’s how I work with clients. First, we define your goals and your ideal customer journey. Next, I design and build the funnel using proven frameworks. From there, I integrate automations and systems that keep everything running 24/7. Finally, you launch with a funnel that books calls, sells offers, and nurtures leads without you lifting a finger.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“It’s been a pleasure working with Thoriso for well over a year. And during that time, there were some incredible, incredible things that she brought to our company. I would highly, highly recommend Thoriso for anyone looking for a role similar to her skill set in terms of systems, automations, funnels, but also from a content perspective too." – George, SaaSpreneur Award-Winning Founder
