Navigate Your Business Journey with Clarity

I'm a Seattle-based consultant who started Constellations to help founders build businesses the right way—with clarity, purpose, and strategy from day one. I've spent my career transforming ambiguous "what-if" questions into data-backed strategies, and I'm passionate about helping new business owners skip the painful early mistakes I've seen (and made!) along the way.

My background is unconventional. I've worn many hats: as a Product Manager at AT&T and Unity, I learned to translate complex data into human-centered strategy. As a data analyst, I discovered the power of asking the right questions. And as a co-founder of the Westside Music Social Club—a nonprofit connecting independent musicians and community—I learned firsthand how to launch something with purpose and build it sustainably.

Good launches don't happen by accident.

Daniel builds the systems that turn a business's numbers into decisions. He's a data engineer and software developer with years of experience at Amazon Web Services and Starbucks, and he holds advanced degrees in computer science and business. At Constellations he reviews every program we teach and leads our data and database training, including Data and Spreadsheets 101. His focus is on setups small businesses can keep running without an IT team: clean spreadsheets, simple databases and dashboards that show what's working.

I'm a Seattle-area consultant with 15 years of experience building and leading teams, bringing structure to complex work, and helping people turn ideas into action. I believe strong businesses start with supported teams, clear priorities, and practical ways of working that make growth manageable.

My background spans program management, creative operations, and embedded team leadership. As a Director of Program Management at SketchDeck, I've brought together creative talent, clients, and partners to move ambitious projects forward. My work connects the big picture with the everyday decisions that make delivery possible: who's doing the work, what they need to succeed, and how to keep priorities, budgets, and timelines aligned.

What I enjoy most is helping people do their best work. Whether I'm developing team leaders, untangling a complicated workflow, or helping a business navigate change, I bring a collaborative, hands-on approach. I listen, ask questions, and build solutions around the people who will use them.

Through my consulting work, I help growing businesses build capable teams and dependable processes, giving founders more room to lead and confidence in how the work gets done.
