Inside the Studio

Alisa Robards, Strategic Lead
Alisa works directly with clients to untangle complex operational situations and build AI support that actually fits the work. She brings 25 years of experience across operations and marketing, and personally designs every AI support system the studio produces.

She primarily works with owners carrying heavy operational loads, and also partners with operations consultants to help systemize their firms, turn delivery knowledge into usable processes, and integrate AI in ways that strengthen what’s already working.

When you work with Pre-Flight Studio, you work with Alisa.

The Studio Team

Pre-Flight Studio runs on a small, focused internal team. Each member holds a specific role that keeps the studio prepared, organized, and moving so client work gets Alisa’s full attention.

Journey

Strategic Insight & Synthesis
Journey makes sense of complex or fragmented information. She finds the patterns, surfaces what’s actually happening, and helps turn raw inputs into clear understanding before decisions get made.

Scout

Research Analyst
Scout prepares the ground before active work begins. She researches clients, their businesses, and the relevant landscape so every engagement starts with understanding rather than assumption.
