From Swirl to Strategy: Fractional Support for Visionaries

Clarity. Systems. Momentum — on your terms.​

 

You’ve got ideas. Big ones.

But translating them into action—while keeping your voice, vision, and team aligned—can feel like trying to build a plane while flying it.

 

That’s where I come in.

As your Expansion Partner and Fractional Leader, I bring calm to the chaos, strategy to the swirl, and clarity to the next chapter of your work.

​

What I Help With

I support small-but-mighty teams, founders, and creative leaders with custom-fit strategy, operations, and marketing support that evolves as you do.

Fractional Strategy & Ops Leadership

For when you need a right-hand without hiring full-time.

  • Fractional COO / CMO support

  • Business planning, prioritization & systems setup

  • Project management optimization (Asana, ClickUp, Notion, etc.)

  • Team workflows, role clarity & accountability structures

  • Strategic counsel for founders, visionaries & small teams

 

Ideal for: creative agencies, early-stage founders, service-based teams in transition

Messaging, Offers & Visibility Strategy

For when your ideas need structure, not steamrolling.

   •    Brand positioning & narrative development
   •    Offer mapping & customer journey audits
   •    Email marketing & automation strategy
   •    Visibility planning across LinkedIn, IG, email
   •    Light copy & content support or creative direction

​

Ideal for: personal brands, consultants, creatives, thought leaders

Marketing Ops & Backend Systems

For when your systems need to support your strategy.

  • CRM & email automation (Braze, Iterable, Mailchimp, etc.)

  • Launch systems & timeline planning (courses, funnels, etc.)

  • Process documentation, SOPs & templates

  • Cross-functional workflow setup for small teams

  • Collaboration between strategy and execution layers

 

Ideal for: growing teams without an internal ops lead

How It Works

 

Every engagement starts with a clarity session to understand your goals, systems, and needs. From there, we co-create a custom support model—fractional, project-based, or retainer.

​

Let’s bring structure to your brilliance.

 

Whether you’re navigating a team shift, stepping into a new offer, or just trying to make it all feel better—I’ll meet you right where you are.

Additional Offerings

Stand out with a beautifully designed, one-page personal website that showcases your work, offerings, and personality. Perfect for entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals who want a polished, easy-to-share digital presence.
