LET'S GET STARTED

Running the office, operations, or the whole damn business - and still stuck untangling the digital mess?

Microsoft 365 was meant to make work easier.
Instead, it's become another thing to manage - files everywhere, processes half-working, and systems that don't quite match how your day really runs.

That's where Thrive comes in.
Practical, real-world Microsoft 365 support - whether you want small daily wins, structured guidance, or hands-on help designing systems that actually fit your workload.

This is for the ones who:

  • handle the calendar, inbox, spreadsheets, and systems
  • keep the team moving and the business afloat
  • are smart, capable, and done with wrestling tech that should just work

How I help

A quick hello - and how I work.

I'm Marianne - or Maz - and I work with people who who quietly hold a lot of responsibility.

Behind most "messy systems" isn't a lack of skill or effort. It's work that's grown faster than the tools supporting it.

My role is to help you slow that down just enough to see what's really happening - then design Microsoft 365 systems that support your workload, your role, and your reality.

Sometimes that looks like small, practical changes.
Sometimes it's about deeper system design.
Always, it's about making work feel more manageable - not more impressive on paper.
