Design is clarity.
Whether it’s a visual, a system, or a message,
I make things that make sense.
HomeExtras! imported linens from China and sold them to Walmart, but their order fulfillment process was a manual labyrinth. One of the owners was spending 50+ hours per week on repetitive, error-prone tasks: downloading EDI orders, checking inventory, managing packing logistics, generating shipping docs, and coordinating with the warehouse. I designed a custom FileMaker system that collapsed this entire process, from order intake to delivery tracking, into a streamlined, automated 20 minute per week workflow.

The existing process was fragile, slow, and unsustainable. It relied heavily on human memory and multitool workflows (EDI → Excel → Word → Email), creating daily bottlenecks, data entry errors, and shipment delays. Most critically, a single executive’s time was consumed entirely by tasks that should have been automated.
I created a custom FileMaker system that automated every major step: importing orders, verifying inventory, calculating pallet configurations by weight and volume, generating packing slips and pallet labels, alerting the warehouse, tracking shipments, and even managing follow-up and invoicing. The interface was built for clarity, with logical flows that matched the real-world operation. What once took 50 hours now takes 20 minutes—with no spreadsheets, no manual typing, and no missed steps.
The new system eliminated all data entry and weight calculation errors, improved warehouse speed and accuracy, and enabled instant invoicing for faster cash flow. Most importantly, it gave the owner back nearly 50 hours per week—freeing him to focus on growth and strategic initiatives. The company now operates with less stress, greater efficiency, and a dramatically improved ability to scale.
