Where systems meet the humans who use them

I'm Debbie DeMarco Bennett. For over 13 years, I've worked in the mental health and psychoeducational space — founding DBT Path, an online school built on the belief that learning and systems should meet people where they are.

That same philosophy shapes every automation I design. I build AI workflow systems that reduce friction, save real time, and actually make sense to the people who use them — not just the people who built them.

My background isn't typical for this space, and that's exactly what makes the difference. I bring deep empathy, careful systems thinking, and a practitioner's eye for what works in the real world. The result: automation that's usable, sustainable, and quietly effective.

What I can help you build

From strategy to hands-on implementation, every engagement is focused on practical outcomes: more clarity, less manual work, and systems your team will actually use.

01

AI Opportunity Assessment

We map your current workflows, identify your highest-leverage automation opportunities, and build a clear, prioritized action plan — so you know exactly where AI can help and where to start.

Workflow Automation Design

Strategic design of end-to-end automation systems tailored to your business, tools, and team. You get a practical blueprint that's scalable and built to reduce real friction.

Hands-on implementation of AI-powered workflows using n8n, Zapier, Airtable, and more. From intake forms to routing logic to AI-assisted drafting — I build and test the full system.

04

Systems Integration

Connect your existing tools into a cohesive system that communicates, routes, and runs with minimal manual effort. No more copy-pasting between platforms or losing things in the gaps.

05

Implementation Support

Guided rollout of new automation — including documentation, testing, and team onboarding. I make sure the system sticks and your team feels confident using it from day one.

The toolkit behind the work

A combination of strategic thinking, technical implementation, and human-centered design practice.

Problems solved, systems built

A sample of the kinds of workflow and automation challenges I design solutions for.

Workflow Automation

Automated Intake & Triage System

A small education business was manually sorting and assigning incoming homework submissions — a time-consuming process prone to delays and errors. Built a full intake workflow with automated labeling, categorization, and routing to the right team member based on submission type.

Eliminated manual sorting; reduced response time by 60%

Systems Integration

Gmail + Airtable Request Management

A service provider was losing track of incoming client requests spread across email threads with no central system. Designed a workflow that captures Gmail messages, logs them to Airtable with structured fields, and triggers automated follow-up sequences.

Centralized all requests; nothing falls through the cracks

AI-Assisted Drafting

AI Response Drafting Workflow

A high-volume inbox was creating hours of manual response work each week. Built an AI-assisted drafting pipeline that generates first-draft responses to common inquiry types, reviewed and sent by the team — dramatically reducing the cognitive load of email management.

Saved 8+ hours per week on routine correspondence

Consulting & Strategy

Small Business Workflow Audit & Roadmap

A solo service provider was overwhelmed by scattered, manual processes across multiple tools with no coherent system. Conducted a full workflow audit and delivered a phased automation roadmap with prioritized next steps, tool recommendations, and implementation guidance.

Clear path forward; estimated 10+ hours recovered per week

Automation with a human core

Most consultants focus on what's technically possible. I focus on what actually works — for your team, your clients, and the people your business serves.
