I'm Steph Redi. I help service-based founders get their business out of their head and into systems that actually run without them.
Most founders who come to me are capable, busy, and genuinely good at what they do. The problem isn't them. It's that their business grew faster than the structure holding it together. And that works, until it really doesn't.
I build the operational foundations that change that.
You're the single point of knowledge in your own business. Your clients get a great experience because you make sure of it personally, every time. But that means nothing moves without you, and taking a day off feels like a risk.
Admin, follow-ups, onboarding new clients manually, chasing the same information over and over. You know this isn't the best use of your time. But there's no system to hand it to, so you keep doing it yourself.
You've bought the tools. You've watched the tutorials. You've started building something in Notion three times. The problem isn't that you're not capable. It's that every solution was built for someone else's brain, not yours.
That's what solid operational foundations make possible. Not overnight. Not with a template. Through a research-first process that maps how you actually work before building anything.
Learn more about how I workI don't start with tools. I start with you. Before I build anything, I spend time understanding how you think, how your business operates right now, and where the real friction is. This is what makes the systems we build together actually stick, when previous attempts haven't.
A proper look at your current workflows, tools, and how you actually work day to day, before touching anything.
Find the three critical issues costing you the most time, energy, and mental load.
Design founder-aligned processes around how you specifically think and operate, not how a template assumes you should.
Implement practical, tested systems that fit your brain and your business.
Document everything so your business is delegation-ready and you own it all fully.
Refine and update as your business grows, through ongoing support if you need it.
AI and automation tools are part of how I work and part of what I build. Where they genuinely remove decisions and steps that don't need you, I'll include them. Where they don't add real value, I won't. You'll always understand what's been built and why.
Most clients start with the Systems Health Check to get a clear picture of what's actually broken and what to fix first. From there, you can implement the roadmap yourself, or I can build it with you.
Most founders know something isn't working. They just can't see it clearly from inside it. The Systems Health Check is a proper look at how your business is actually running right now. You get a written report and a private interactive dashboard delivered within 3 business days of our scoping call.

Client onboarding and offboarding, Notion workspace builds, automation workflows, SOP libraries, content management systems, and full business operating systems. Everything is built around how you actually work, fully documented, and handed over so you can maintain it yourself.

Book a free discovery callEvery process, workflow, and automation is built around how you specifically think and operate. That's why they stick when previous attempts haven't.
I don't tell you what to do and leave you to figure it out. I build it with you. You get working systems, not a to-do list.
I've spent 15 years in corporate operations at places like JBWere and Vanguard, and the past several years going deep on AI and automation for small businesses. I'll tell you what you actually need, not what sounds impressive.
Full documentation and a proper handover means you can maintain your systems without me. I'm not building dependency. I'm removing it.
I know what it feels like to be the founder who is also the admin, the operator, and the one who holds everything in her head.
I spent 15 years in corporate operations at JBWere and Vanguard, building systems that helped businesses see clearly and move efficiently. I've been recognised as a NAB top 1% performer, and I've spent the past several years going deep on AI, automation, and no-code tools because I wanted to understand what was genuinely possible for small businesses.
I started Simple Solutions Studio because I believe every founder's business should be able to run without them being the answer to every question.
The goal was never a perfect system. The goal was always a life that feels like yours again.
