About Me
I spent 25 years in education learning exactly why systems fail — and what it takes to build ones that actually stick.
I’m Michelle — founder of Bilbrey Lee, and the person your business has been waiting for since about year two. I know that sounds bold. But stay with me.
If your business feels harder to manage than it should, you’ve probably already tried to fix it. The Notion template, the productivity course, the second brain. Something that was supposed to organize everything and ended up as one more thing to maintain.
You’re not here because you’re bad at this. You’re here because your business was never designed. That’s exactly the problem I solve — and it turns out, it’s the same problem I spent an entire career solving in a different context.
Hello!
Imagine This
What does your business feel like when it actually works?
Monday morning. You open your laptop and you know exactly where to start. Your most-used documents are where you left them. Your week has a rhythm. The mental juggling act that used to follow you into evenings and weekends — it’s quieter now.
Your client work gets your full attention instead of a fraction of it. You’re not spending 20 minutes looking for a file you know you saved, or recreating a process you’ve done 30 times because you never wrote it down. The business holds itself up. You’re not the only thing keeping it together.
This is what operational clarity actually feels like. Not productivity. Not hustle. Not more tools to learn and abandon six weeks later. Just a business that was finally designed — instead of accumulated.
I built the Business Brain™ Framework specifically for this — a way to look at your business across six areas, see exactly where the friction is coming from, and start fixing it in a way that works for how you actually think and work. Not how the productivity gurus say you should.
Our Mission
Helping creatives build businesses that feel as good to run as they do to grow.
At Bilbrey Lee, we believe operational clarity isn’t a luxury — it’s what makes sustainable business possible. When your information is findable, your workflows are repeatable, and the business isn’t running on your memory alone, everything changes. The work gets lighter. The thinking gets clearer. And your business can finally keep up with you.

A little more about me
What I believe in:
I believe operational clarity is what makes sustainable business possible — and that most business owners were never taught to build the infrastructure their business actually needs. I believe calm is a design choice, not a personality trait. And I believe smart, capable people deserve systems that work with their brain, not against it.
A few of my favorite things:
A well-organized bookshelf. The particular satisfaction of finding exactly what you were looking for on the first try. Good coffee and unhurried mornings. The moment a client says ‘I can actually breathe now.’
A few things you might not know:
I have a master’s degree in library science — which means information architecture is literally my professional training, not just a metaphor I’m using. I spent years helping teachers adopt new technology without the overwhelm, which turns out to be the exact same skill I use when I help business owners approach AI. I’ve been studying entrepreneurship for over a decade. And I genuinely believe that ‘I just need to get organized’ is one of the most underestimated things a business owner can say.
Why This Work Matters
You didn't start this business to spend your days managing it — carrying every detail in your head, always a step behind. That's what the Business Brain™ framework is for: calm structure across the six areas your business runs on. When your systems match the way you actually think, that low hum of "I'm behind" gets quieter — and the work you love finally gets room to breathe.
