The coaching arm provides unique services for one-of-a-kind visionaries who doubt capabilities, and yet are exemplary. Her services are offered to individual practitioners and healers as well as soul-driven founders. ## Founder V.velox was founded by Tess McCarthy, an MLIS-trained librarian, archivist, information architect, and semantic systems designer. Her background also includes comics, poetry, animation, illustration, and Jungian coaching for private clients. Tess’s work bridges library science, metadata, taxonomy, controlled vocabularies, content systems, creative practice, and AI legibility. Her approach to Semantic Interaction Architecture is rooted in information science and practiced through librarianship: classify clearly, preserve context, reduce ambiguity, and make information retrievable for both humans and machines.
