Notion Consulting Partner
Hi, I’m Alex Sherwood —I build Notion workspacesand make them smarterwith AI.
I’m a full-time Notion Consulting Partner working with businesses and individuals around the world. Whether you need a custom build, automations, an AI-powered workflows, ongoing support or training — I can help you get there.
What I do
Build your Notion workspace
Custom-built systems designed around the way you work — project management, CRMs, OKR tracking, knowledge bases, client portals and full company operating systems.
Make it intelligent with AI
Turn a static workspace into one that answers questions. Semantic knowledge bases, meeting intelligence, natural-language search — and Notion connected directly to Claude via MCP.
Automate the busywork
Auto-creating tasks and projects, syncing calendars and email, generating documents and reports — connecting Notion to the rest of your stack with Make, Zapier, the API and custom code.
Custom apps & code-powered systems
When no-code reaches its limits: registration web apps, client portals, AI scoring engines and report generators, built on Vercel and Convex.
Train your team & keep you supported
Onboarding, advanced training and workshops — plus ongoing support via blocks of hours, monthly retainers or two-week sprints.
What clients say
Alex impressed us with his professionalism and quickly grasped our studio’s unique needs. We immediately saw time and cost savings. He made Notion work for us, not the other way around — our team is more cohesive, our processes streamlined, and our productivity has soared.
Communication was excellent and clear, expectations were managed beautifully, and Alex was patient, organised and very receptive to feedback. He went well above and beyond to make sure the automations worked as expected — I’m thrilled, and already looking forward to phase two.
03 — The signature
Notion + AI, done properly.
I don’t bolt AI on for the sake of it. I build it into systems where it earns its place — primarily with Claude — and I use it every day in my own delivery.
AI-powered knowledge bases & semantic search
Ask your workspace a question and get an answer. SOPs, client files and advisory content become instantly searchable in natural language.

Meeting & document intelligence
Transcripts, notes and documents flow into Notion and get summarised, tagged and turned into action items automatically.

Integrate Notion with Claude

AI-assisted delivery

How I work
Arranging a project
- A free requirements-gathering call to discuss your needs.
- A written proposal listing components and support.
- Usually a fixed price — if it takes longer, you don’t pay more.
Delivery
- Kickoff call, then an initial version of the system.
- Review calls and revisions, plus automations.
- Handover walkthrough and team training.
Two ways to engage
- Fixed-price projects — defined scope, agreed price.
- Two-week sprints — a rolling backlog in weighted blocks, tracked in a shared client portal.
- Ongoing support via blocks of hours or a monthly retainer.
My approach
Flexible
A modular structure of clearly defined databases, so new workflows slot in whenever they come up.
Accessible
Powerful dashboards that put tasks, calendar, sales and key numbers front and centre.
Automated
Repetitive work handled by Notion automations, the API and custom code.
Process-orientated
Tailored to the way you actually work, day to day.
