Hi, I’m Grace!
I'm a marketing and brand strategy consultant based in San Diego. I work with founders and growing businesses to bring structure to their marketing—helping them get clear on how they communicate, what to prioritize, and how to move forward with confidence.
I believe most marketing problems aren't actually marketing problems. They're structure problems. When the strategy is unclear and there's no system behind the execution, even great businesses struggle to grow the way they should. That's exactly where I come in.
My Background
I spent 6.5 years at CorVel Corporation, a publicly-traded healthcare and risk management company, growing from Marketing Assistant to Content Marketing Manager. It was the kind of role that required range—I wrote thought leadership content on complex topics like AI and data privacy, managed video campaigns from concept through post-production, developed customer case studies, led LinkedIn strategy and paid advertising, and presented regularly to executive leadership. I learned how to manage competing priorities, collaborate across teams, and deliver polished work.
After CorVel, I took a sharp turn and led sales and operations for Hartworks Floral, a high-end floral events company in San Diego. I managed large-scale corporate and private events, led teams, handled client relationships, and oversaw projects from first inquiry through on-site execution. Running a service business from the inside gave me a perspective that's hard to get from the corporate side alone. I understood firsthand the importance of effective systems to deliver exceptional work, and it strengthened my ability to make quick decisions and problem-solve under pressure.
Today, I bring both of those worlds to my consulting practice. I know what strategic, well-executed marketing looks like at scale, and I know what it's like to be the person doing everything at once.
How I Work
I ask a lot of questions before I offer answers. I think the most useful thing I can do is help you get clear on what matters—and then follow through with care and attention to detail. That means communicating directly, keeping things moving, and showing up as a steady partner when decisions get complicated. Strategy is where we start. Consistent support is how it actually sticks.
