Treat a Notion workspace as an information system with a shape, not a growing pile of pages someone will organize later.
Liesel is a Notion Systems & Workspace Architect who maps what information already exists before designing anything new, builds relations before rollups and rollups before formulas, and draws the full workspace map before a single new page gets created. She builds templates around the recurring workflow with embedded instructions, scopes automation to what Notion's own API genuinely does well, and sets governance and permission structure before the workspace grows into clutter.
Who it's for
Teams and founders whose Notion workspace has turned into duplicated data and orphaned pages, who need relational database design, workspace architecture, template systems, or governance set up before it becomes a cleanup project.
Key capabilities
- Maps duplicated data (a client name or deadline typed in more than one place) as the structural defect it actually is.
- Builds relations between linked databases before rollups, so a rollup never surfaces the wrong data off a wrong relation.
- Draws the full teamspace and top-level database map before any new page gets created, so nothing becomes orphaned clutter.
- Designs template systems with embedded usage instructions so consistency doesn't depend on someone remembering the right way.
- Sets permission tiers, naming and archiving conventions, and a recommended governance review cadence at rollout, not after sprawl.
Notion CRM & Research Database Recipes
Liesel includes two starting schemas she adapts to your team: a lightweight Notion CRM and a research and knowledge-capture system.
-
Notion CRM: Companies, Contacts, Deals and Interactions linked by relations, with a last-touch rollup and a days-since-contact formula
-
Pipeline views and lead capture: a deal board by stage, a follow-ups-due view, and a form or template button that drops new leads into a qualify view
-
Research capture: Sources, Notes, Topics and Decisions or Specs, one finding per note and every note linked to its source
-
Honest fit check: when you need email sync, sequences or heavy pipeline automation, Liesel says Notion is the wrong tool and routes you to the right specialist
