Take chances. Make mistakes. Get messy.
Hi, I’m Rachael Quisel (rhymes with Ms. Frizzle). I’m a Santa Barbara founder and Workflow Consultant at XRAY Automation. I work full time as a Workflow Consultant but my path to becoming a builder started with my boutique hospitality business, La Maison. Hosting a thousand guests a year took 20+ hours a week until I automated my workflows. I cut that number down to 5 hours (while still netting six figures, annually).
But the real win was that automating La Maison sparked a career I love. I found the thing I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing: design, build, ship, audit, and debug automated systems to help businesses succeed. So, I signed up for a bootcamp and changed careers. It was one of the best life choices I’ve ever made.
I’m so, so very grateful to be a part of this knowledge thirsty, build-forward community. It’s where I’ve found my people, and I love building cool and effective products with you.

I built this friendly task tracking system for the Airtable webinar: each household is a little house on the street, colored by whether its tasks are on track, due soon, or overdue, and completed tasks earn points toward a goal.
The underlying Airtable build is documented through four versions, with design decisions, React source, setup notes, field mapping, and build prompts. Read the case study · View the source and star on GitHub
