Notion Consulting Partner
Hi, I’m Alex Sherwood.I build Notion workspacesthat run yourbusiness.
I’m a full-time Notion Consulting Partner working with businesses and individuals around the world. Whether you need a custom build, automations, training or ongoing support — with a sprinkling of AI where it genuinely helps — 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.
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.
Add AI where it helps
A sprinkling of intelligence on top of a solid Notion foundation — semantic knowledge bases, meeting intelligence, natural-language search, and Notion connected to Claude via MCP.
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 sprints (usually two-weeks long).
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 — Where AI fits
Notion first, AI where it earns its place.
The heart of my work is Notion craft — structure, relations, dashboards and automations that hold up over time. AI is the finishing layer, not the headline: I don’t bolt it on for the sake of it, and I use it daily in my own delivery, so you get faster scoping and lower cost.
Knowledge bases you can ask questions
Well-structured Notion first — then semantic search on top, so SOPs, client files and advisory content answer in natural language.
Meeting & document intelligence
Transcripts, notes and documents flow into Notion and get summarised, tagged and turned into action items automatically.
Connect Notion to Claude
I can connect Notion with Claude and other assistants, so you can query and update your workspace directly from your AI tools.

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.
- Sprints (usually two-weeks long) — 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.
