I started it because I kept seeing too many brilliant, creative women shrink themselves to fit into boxes they were never meant to fit, editing out their personalities, and overthinking every word. I became obsessed with personal branding to help women do the opposite: to lead, confidently messy, as main characters.
Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned from being a stories person — devouring fantasy novels, 2000s rom coms, and Taylor Swift lyrics — it’s that the complex, imperfect, “less-than-popular” female characters are always the ones worth rooting for.
So no, we don’t need help becoming more polished. We need support to be more ourselves. That’s what inspires everything I do at G&G.
It forced me to step back, listen to what I knew deep down, and rebuild how I approached my own brand from the inside out.
Once I started sharing that process honestly, I realized I wasn’t alone. So I decided that honesty would be the foundation for everything from there on out. That's how I work with clients – not from some polished pedestal, but in the messy middle with you: building successful brands, without erasing the plot lines that make it yours.
On paper, my career looked great. I was climbing the corporate ladder while designing beautiful brands, running successful marketing campaigns, and gaining thousands of followers overnight.
I was doing everything “right” — following the strategies, creating the content. But along the way, I’d sanded down my edges to perform a role of “Thought Leader” I didn’t actually feel.
