The Information Untangler

I help you mend the dropped stitches in your digital world.

You know the feeling: a digital life that feels like it’s perpetually on the verge of unraveling. A thousand bookmarks you’ll never read, a feed that dictates your mood, and a nagging sense that your “knowledge” is full of holes that need mending.

I spent over 20 years as a librarian and logistician, planning, building, using, and teaching systems of organization. I’ve seen how a poorly built system can contribute to digital exhaustion and how a glut of information eventually leads to information ennui.

My work is about helping the Overwhelmed Skeptic create an information sanctuary.

I don’t believe in “productivity hacks.” I believe in crafting useful, intentional systems that work for you. Whether we are vetting a news source or configuring an AI tool to act as your digital assistant, the goal is the same: to create a cohesive, durable knowledge system that supports you.

  • I grew up in my uncle's used book store, surrounded by the magic of organized knowledge. When everyone told me my English degree was "worthless," librarianship felt like a natural fit. I spent a few years exploring different types of library work until I found my home in academia where I was able to combine my three favorite things - research, teaching, and organizing.

  • We are in a time of unprecedented disinformation, always-on mentality, performative social media, and general anxiety about the state of the world. It’s overwhelming. Contributing to that overwhelm are four things we can control: the information we take in, the ways in which we use that information, the tools we use, and the information we leak. I help you take control of these four things so you can breathe easier.

  • I'm an avid knitter, and the very first thing I knitted beyond a scarf was an entrelac headband - a fairly advanced technique that I dove into head-first just because I thought it was beautiful. With Entrelac Information, I use craft metaphors to help you get a handle on your digital world.

  • I am an American living abroad in Uruguay. From my time zone, I can conveniently work with clients across the US and the UK. I use Google Meet, email, and whatever other communication tools you are comfortable with.

The Entrelac Method

At Entrelac Information, we don’t just organize your files. We teach you the four core skills of the Information Crafter.

  • Discernment. Learn to spot the “synthetics” by applying librarian-grade scrutiny to ensure only authentic, high-quality information makes it into your system.

  • Curation. Create a strong, finished “selvedge edge” around your knowledge. This is the structure that prevents your attention from fraying when the algorithms shift.

  • Organization. Use the Entrelac Method to organize resources based on how they are used. Is it a work in progress (WIP)? Or not?

    • Work Basket: The active, high-focus projects that are “on the needles”

    • Infrastructure: Recurring life/business areas that make up your “craft room”

    • Patterns: The templates and reference files that make up your “pattern library”

    • Stash: A curated collection to support potential projects (not digital hoarding)

    • Finished Objects: A legacy of completed work and archived patterns.

  • Tool Mastery. AI and other tools are like the knitting machine. They don’t replace the knitter, they only enhance what she can do. We show you how to use these tools to do things you couldn’t do otherwise while knowing exactly when to set the machine aside and do the work by hand.
