Product, strategy, and ops

Bring me a problem. I'll help you solve it.

Launches that keep slipping. Decisions you keep making on gut. Manual work eating your week. That's what I fix.

Not an agency. Not a consultant with a deck. I'm Sandra, and I've spent seven years turning messy, cross-team problems into shipped work at leading companies.

I own projects, figure out what to test, and build the fix.

For founders, small business owners, and teams inside bigger companies.

Three ways to work together

01

Ship it

There's a project that needs to happen and nobody has time to own it.

I take it from messy to done. I scope it, line up the people, keep it moving, and launch it.

Good for

  • launches that keep slipping
  • cross-team work with no owner
  • process rollouts

You get

  • one owner
  • a clear plan
  • weekly updates
  • a finished project

Usually 4 to 6 weeks.

02

Figure it out

There's a problem and you don't know the right fix yet.

I dig into your data and workflows, find what's actually going on, and design small tests to see what works.

Good for

  • retention or conversion drops
  • unclear priorities
  • decisions you keep making on gut

You get

  • a diagnosis
  • ranked options
  • and a test plan with the numbers to watch

Usually 2 to 4 weeks.

03

Build it

There's a problem and you want it solved, not just planned.

I take it end to end: ideation, scoping, build, and launch. Small on purpose. Think a tool, an automation, a workflow, or an MVP.

Good for

  • manual work that should be automated
  • an internal tool
  • testing an idea fast

You get

  • a working thing in your hands
  • and a plan for what's next

Scoped per project.

Idea to launch, on my own

No team, no funding round. Just me shipping.

FABLE+42

The problem

Independent fine jewelry designers get buried on Etsy and ignored by Google.

What I built

A curated discovery platform that sends shoppers straight to designers' own sites. A Shopify app handles affiliate opt-in, product sync, and commission tracking. When designers wouldn't sync full catalogs to a new platform, I rebuilt the model around editorial and affiliate.

Stage: Live, with a 248+ designer directory. Building cross-designer search.

Alongside

The problem

Group trips and retreats, especially from independent operators, have nowhere to be discovered.

What I built

A discovery platform for group trips and retreats. I built the affiliate tracking from scratch, with click and booking-confirmation snippets, so commissions don't depend on promo codes or the honor system.

Stage: Live, with 50+ trips from 80+ operators.

About

Sandra

Founder, Now/Here Studio

I like the part of a project where nobody knows the answer yet. I've worked the product side, the ops side, and the data side, and most problems need all three.

Outside client work, I build my own products: FABLE+42 and Alongside.

Before we talk

What does working with you look like?

We start with a short call. I ask questions until we find the real problem. Then I send a scope with a timeline and price. You always know what you're getting before we start.

Who do you work with?

Founders, small business owners, and teams inside bigger companies. Size matters less than having a real problem to solve.

Do you just advise, or do you actually do the work?

Both. Some problems need a second brain. Some need someone to build the fix. I do whichever the problem calls for.

What's off the table?

Anything that needs a full-time hire or a big team built from scratch. I work inside your existing team or take a focused piece end to end. If you're not a fit, I'll tell you on the first call.

How much does it cost?

Projects start at $2,500. You'll get a fixed price in writing before we start.

Do I have to get on a call?

No. Send me the problem and I'll reply with a next step. The call is there if talking it through is faster.
