Technology made simple
Modern technology is moving fast. Your parents are not. I cut out the tech talk to make things easier.
If it works for mom, it works for anyone!
The Challenge
It Was Supposed To Be Simple.
For millions of seniors, everyday tech has become a daily stress test. Managing notifications, dodging scams, or just answering a video call shouldn’t require a computer science degree.
It’s not your fault. Your phone keeps changing without asking permission and nobody bothered to update the manual.
“The phone was ringing in my hand and I still couldn’t answer it!”
Tech Help That Doesn’t Talk Down to You.
Works for Mom is a library of no-nonsense resources designed to give seniors their digital independence back.
Video Guides: Short, straightforward walkthroughs covering the essentials of phone and PC use, delivered with a healthy dose of reality.
Printable Cheat Sheets: Clear, step-by-step physical guides you can print out and keep on the kitchen counter for quick reference.
“I get so many notifications I don’t know what to do with them anymore.”
We started with one mom. We’re building it for every family.
Help Us Build The First Learning Series.
High-quality video production takes real resources. I’m launching a Kickstarter to build a permanent, independent learning series that puts seniors first.
Smartphone lessons that start from the very beginning.
Printable guides designed for quick, everyday answers.
A supportive community space for sharing real questions & answers.
Every contribution helps me build a calmer, more patient way for parents and kids to survive the digital world together.”

The Team Behind the Screen
Paul | The Tech Translator – Paul spent 15 years in media and publishing teaching adults how to learn. But his most important classroom turned out to be a Zoom call with his mom — 6,000 miles away, watching her struggle with technology she never asked for and was never taught to use. Works for Mom started there.
Pauline | The Real Boss – Pauline is a retired hospital worker, artist, and volunteer who simply wants technology to do what it promises so she can stay connected with family and community.
She doesn’t want to become a programmer. She just wants the tools she depends on to make sense again.
