Victoria Price is the founder of Organize Design Create (ODC) and the creator behind @intentionallyvee_, where she teaches real, repeatable systems that help single parents run their households without burning out. A single mother of five, Victoria built her expertise the only way she knows how — out of necessity.

After becoming a solo parent in 2019, she developed the frameworks she now teaches: meal systems, routines, screen time boundaries, and the kind of household infrastructure that keeps a family of six running when there's one adult at the helm. Her content series, "Nobody's Coming, Save Yourself" and "Raising Them Kids," has resonated with hundreds of thousands of parents navigating the same reality.

With 15+ years of professional experience spanning nonprofit, real estate, insurance, and communications — and systems work with 200+ organizations since 2019 — Victoria brings operational precision to a space that's usually ruled by Pinterest aesthetics. She's proof that the systems you build to survive can become the systems you teach to change lives.

I solve the $2M problems that happen when brilliant technology meets confused humans.

Over the past decade, I've built AI platforms that generate $5M ARR, transformed failing products into 340% growth stories, and led 50,000+ user migrations with zero downtime. But here's what I've really learned: the biggest technology challenges aren't technical at all. They're psychological.

With my Master's in Social Data Science from Oxford, I've spent my career at the intersection where human behavior meets enterprise technology. I've worked across healthcare, finance, and global consulting at Accenture, consistently discovering that the same patterns emerge everywhere: smart people make predictable, irrational decisions about technology adoption.
I'm the product leader who gets called in when expensive AI implementations sit unused, when teams resist change despite obvious benefits, or when leadership needs someone who can translate between C-suite vision and developer reality. My "human first AI" framework is now adopted by 3 Fortune 500 companies because it works with human psychology rather than against it.
My superpower is turning complex technological chaos into revenue generating clarity. I've reduced patient wait times from 48 hours to 4 hours, cut compliance review time by 87%, and helped teams embrace AI tools they initially feared. I understand both the technical possibilities (Python, TensorFlow, cloud architecture) and the human realities (cognitive bias, change resistance, team dynamics) of making technology actually work.

Whether I'm speaking about AI manipulation psychology, the neuroscience of developer attention, or why brilliant teams make terrible technology decisions, I bring data driven insights combined with real world war stories from the trenches of enterprise transformation.
I
believe the future belongs to leaders who understand that every technology problem is fundamentally a people problem. And people problems are endlessly fascinating to solve.
