I’m a marketing strategist with 20+ years of experience working with global brands like Nintendo, Reebok, GlaxoSmithKline, and Fairmont Hotels & Resorts - alongside founder-led companies and startups in health and wellness that needed to grow fast and get it right the first time. I diagnose what’s actually holding your business back and build the strategy that fixes it. I’ve helped scale a NYC fashion brand from 0 to $15M in revenue and 600K+ organic followers (no paid ads). I’ve launched brands, repositioned companies, and built marketing systems that generate revenue demand, not just attention. What I Do Best • Growth Strategy Clear, actionable marketing plans tied directly to revenue, not vanity metrics. • Brand Positioning So your audience instantly understands why you matter (and why they should choose you). • Content That Converts Not random posting but structured content ecosystems built around proof, storytelling, and demand. • Lead Generation Systems SEO and AEO, email, and content strategies designed to consistently bring in qualified leads. • Website & Funnel Audits I identify exactly where you’re losing people and how to fix it fast. • Offer & Pricing Strategy So you’re not just selling more, you’re selling smarter. How I Work Before any strategy call or creative direction, I will review your current website, social media and other marketing channels. What’s working? What’s not? Where the gaps are. Then we build from there, so every decision is intentional, not guesswork. I ask the right questions. I listen closely. And I move quickly from insight to execution. Who I Work With • Founder-led brands • E-commerce and Shopify businesses • Wellness, fashion, and lifestyle companies • Experts turning knowledge into digital products • Businesses ready to grow, but stuck on how Start Here Every engagement begins with a short introductory call. From there, we define the right path, whether that’s a focused strategy session, a full audit, or ongoing advisory support. If you’re serious about growth and want a strategy that actually drives results, let’s talk. Schedule a complimentary intro call with me to begin.

Your designs should not just look “nice” they should make your brand look credible, consistent, memorable, and ready to attract the right audience. I am a Canva Graphic Designer, Canva Expert, Canva Template Designer, and Social Media Graphics Designer helping businesses, coaches, creators, startups, real estate professionals, nonprofits, and service-based brands create professional, branded, and easy-to-edit designs in Canva. I specialize in Canva design, Canva graphic design, editable Canva templates, custom Canva templates, Canva brand kits, brand identity design, brand template design, social media graphics, Instagram post design, Instagram carousel design, LinkedIn carousel design, Facebook post design, Pinterest pin design, presentation design, Canva presentation design, pitch deck design, flyer design, brochure design, lead magnet design, eBook design, workbook design, PDF design, YouTube thumbnail design, marketing materials design, and branded content design. Many businesses do not struggle because their offer is weak. They struggle because their visuals do not clearly communicate the quality of their offer. Their social media posts look inconsistent, their Instagram carousels do not feel branded, their LinkedIn graphics are not polished, their flyers and brochures look basic, their presentations feel outdated, and their lead magnets, ebooks, workbooks, and PDFs do not look professional enough to build trust. THAT IS WHERE I COME IN : One project that reflects the kind of work I do was for a growing service-based brand that had strong content but no clear visual consistency. Their Instagram posts, social media graphics, promotional flyers, lead magnet, PDF guide, and presentation slides all looked disconnected. I helped organize their brand inside Canva with a clean Canva brand kit, reusable editable Canva templates, branded Instagram carousel templates, LinkedIn post templates, flyer designs, brochure layouts, and Canva presentation templates. The result was a more polished, consistent, and professional visual system they could reuse across Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, email marketing, webinars, workshops, and client-facing materials. That is my goal with every Canva design project: to create designs that are beautiful, practical, brand-consistent, easy to edit, and useful for your content, marketing, and sales process. SERVICES I OFFER : ✅ Canva Graphic Design for brands, businesses, creators, and online entrepreneurs ✅ Editable Canva Templates for social media, marketing, promotions, and brand consistency ✅ Instagram Post Design and Instagram Carousel Design for engaging content ✅ LinkedIn Carousel Design and professional business content graphics ✅ Social Media Graphics for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, and more ✅ Canva Brand Kit Design including colors, fonts, brand boards, and visual direction ✅ Brand Template Design for coaches, consultants, creators, startups, and small businesses ✅ Canva Presentation Design for webinars, workshops, courses, business decks, and training slides ✅ Pitch Deck Design and professional business presentation layouts ✅ Flyer Design, Brochure Design, and promotional marketing materials ✅ Lead Magnet Design, eBook Design, Workbook Design, and PDF formatting ✅ YouTube Thumbnail Design and content creator graphics ✅ Real Estate Flyer Design, property graphics, and realtor social media templates ✅ Marketing Collateral Design including one-pagers, service sheets, capability statements, and offer flyers ✅ Canva Template Rebuilds from PDF, JPG, PowerPoint, Google Slides, or existing designs ✅ Branded Content Design for product launches, campaigns, events, and online promotions INDUSTRIES I SERVE : ✅ Coaches, consultants, and personal brands ✅ Course creators, online educators, and digital product sellers ✅ Real estate agents, mortgage professionals, and property businesses ✅ Fitness, wellness, skincare, beauty, and lifestyle brands ✅ Churches, ministries, nonprofits, and community organizations ✅ E-commerce stores and product-based businesses ✅ Content creators, podcasters, influencers, and YouTubers ✅ Small businesses and local service providers ✅ Marketing agencies and social media managers needing Canva support ✅ Restaurants, cafes, food brands, and hospitality businesses ✅ Event planners, wedding professionals, and creative brands ✅ Health, therapy, medical, and wellness professionals ✅ Startups, SaaS brands, and professional service businesses ✅ Authors, speakers, trainers, and workshop hosts What makes my work different is that I design with both visual appeal and business purpose in mind. I do not just create random Canva graphics. I create professional Canva designs, editable Canva templates, branded social media graphics, Canva brand kits, marketing materials, presentations, flyers, brochures, ebooks, workbooks, PDFs, lead magnets, and pitch decks that help your brand show up clearly and consistently.

Great content gets attention. Strategic content gets customers. Every day, businesses lose potential clients because their content looks inconsistent, outdated, or simply fails to capture attention. In a world where people decide within seconds whether to follow, engage, or buy, your content needs to do more than just look good it needs to communicate value, build trust, and turn viiewers into loyal customers. That's where I come in. I work with coaches, consultants, e-commerce brands, wellness businesses, startups, and marketing agencies to create scroll-stopping visuals and edited video content that strengthen brand identity, increase engagement, and maintain a consistent presence across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and TikTok. If you have raw footage, a content strategy, or simply an idea — you have found the right person to turn it into finished, on-brand content. I take your briefs, brand assets, and footage and turn them into polished carousels, Reels, and short-form videos ready to post, on schedule, every time. ✅ I make your brand look like it has a full in-house content team — without the overhead. 📌 WHAT I DELIVER Instagram carousel design is at the core of what I do. I create educational, infographic, branded, and promotional carousel posts built for readability, engagement, and mobile viewing. Every carousel is fully editable in Canva and delivered with consistent typography, spacing, and brand colors. On the video side, I edit Instagram Reels, TikToks, and YouTube Shorts using CapCut — cutting silences, improving pacing, adding captions and text overlays, syncing audio, and using AI-assisted tools to speed up production without sacrificing quality. 🎥 Beyond carousels and video, I create the full range of social media graphics your brand needs: single-image posts, Reel covers, story templates, Facebook banners, LinkedIn visuals, Pinterest graphics, highlight covers, and promotional content. 🛠️ MY FULL SERVICE LIST Canva Design: Instagram Carousel Design Canva Templates Reel Covers Story Templates Social Media Graphics Canva Brand Kits Editable Canva Templates Canva Presentations Infographic Design Banner Design Flyer Design Brochure Design Promotional Graphics Video Editing: Instagram Reels Editing TikTok Video Editing YouTube Shorts Editing Talking-Head Video Editing B-roll Editing Caption & Text Overlay Design Video Repurposing AI-Assisted Video Editing Social Media Content: Caption Writing Content Creation Content Strategy Content Calendar Planning Content Scheduling Content Repurposing Social Media Management Hashtag Research Community Engagement 🧰 TOOLS I USE Canva Pro CapCut Meta Business Suite Buffer Later MailerLite Google Drive AI Content Tools 🎯 WHO I WORK WITH Coaches, consultants, e-commerce brands, wellness businesses, personal brands, startups, and marketing agencies that need a reliable content partner who follows briefs, meets deadlines, and consistently delivers quality work. If your brand falls into any of those categories, we are likely a strong fit. 🤝 ⚙️ HOW I WORK You share your brief, brand guidelines, footage, or content direction. I design, edit, organize, and deliver content that is platform-ready, professionally branded, and optimized for your audience. Most projects are completed within 24 to 48 hours. ⭐ WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE ME Inconsistent branding, slow turnaround, and generic-looking content are the three problems I solve. My work is visually sharp, consistently on-brand, and delivered on time. I do not just make content look good — I create content designed to attract attention, build trust, and support business growth.

Hi there! I’ve specialized in digital marketing for 11 years, adapting to where your business needs support. Whether it's serving as a fractional CMO or focusing on lead generation, ads, or social media/branding, I'm here to help. Let me know if you’d like a quick intro call or a tailored proposal. I run GPS Marketing and focus on partnerships, not just transactional work. While I specialize in social media, paid ads (Google & Meta), funnels, and strategy, I provide long-term support, treating your brand like my own. My marketing journey started at 16, driven by necessity. My family was escaping an abusive household, and I used my first startup income to help us start over and fund my education. This sparked my passion, leading to the founding of Peace Over Pieces, a nonprofit supporting domestic abuse survivors. Every project I take on has meaning behind it. I earned my degree in marketing, entrepreneurship, and computer science from Westminster College and then launched Ground Plan Studio—a boutique firm focused on strategy, transparency, and sustainable growth for brands I truly believe in. Today, I lead a small but talented team, including a former Meta & Google ads strategist and a creative designer. When you work with us, you get high-level strategy, impactful creative, and reliable support—not just outsourced work.
