Teamwork Makes YOUR Dream Work!

about our team

Full disclosure, our team is nowhere near as big as the group in the picture!

Rather than being a big and impersonal agency, Simple Sustainable Solutions is more like a solopreneur endeavor with a lean team to make sure your work is done on time every time.

I created my business because I love working closely with coaches, consultants, and counselors and I don’t ever want to lose that. I am inspired and encouraged every day by my clients.

I have nondisclosure agreements in place with all of my team members. Your information will absolutely not be shared.


Shelby B Ketchen, Online Business Manager

Shelby B Ketchen. Owner

I bring to the table 25+ years of business experience including accounting in a regional office for AT&T, executive assistant to the corporate officers of a multinational company, my own national medical transcription service from 1996-2012, and more.

My life changed radically after my husband’s death in 2010, leaving me to finish raising two kids alone. After my “summer on the couch,” during which I was paralyzed by grief and the lack of purpose I felt, having been a long-time caregiver to my husband, I became very passionate about helping women understand their purpose and how they could turn that vision into reality. I’m a geeky nerd, who is also an INFJ, so you get with me someone who understands the pieces of business, but who also becomes an “alongsider,” a business BFF.

The atmosphere of the business is very casual, but business-like.

I partner with coaches to visualize what it will take to help them reach their goals and then I implement and oversee those strategies. My team and I manage email marketing, social media marketing, blogging, and more. I started as a virtual assistant and, upon realizing how much my clients were struggling to get the things done, I’ve slowly increased the services I provide for them. I want your success!
