OPERATIONS & MARKETING
STRATEGY FOR
SHOPS, STUDIOS, & INDEPENDENT BRANDS

I build the systems, strategy, and structure that help good businesses run better, and take the chaos and guesswork off your plate.

PEOPLE LOVE WHAT YOU’VE BUILT. BEHIND THE SCENES, IT’S A MESS.

Your SEO is inconsistent. Your marketing is reactive. Your systems live in someone’s head instead of a process. And you’re still the one holding everything together.

For over 20 years, I’ve been the person businesses call when things need to run better: the operator, the problem-solver, the one who makes it all work.

OPERATIONS SYSTEMS
& PROCESS DESIGN

I set up what your business runs on: workflows, SOPs, and back-end systems that create consistency across your day-to-day operations.

From front-of-house processes to full platform setup (Square, Shopify, Acuity, and more), I make sure your business runs smoothly without relying on memory, guesswork, or constant oversight.

  • Staff Scheduling

  • Inventory & Backstock

  • Onboarding & Training

  • Health & Safety Compliance

MARKETING STRATEGY
& SEO

I focus on strategy first: not just posting content, but building a plan that gets you found and brings people in.

That includes SEO audits and fixes, Google Business optimization, content structure, and marketing plans designed around how customers actually find and choose you.

  • Email Campaigns

  • Social Calendars

  • Webstore & Listings

  • Merch Program

PROJECT-BASED & RETAINER CONSULTING

When you need someone to run it without hiring full-time, I step in.

Whether it’s a rebrand, relocation, system overhaul, reporting structure, or event production, I fix what’s slowing your business down, either through focused projects or ongoing retainers.

Shops, studios, and independent brands that were never going to run like an office, and shouldn’t have to. If your trade isn’t on the list but the problem sounds familiar, ask.

“SHE BUILDS SYSTEMS THAT KEEP WORKING WHEN SHE ISN’T IN THE ROOM, AND SHE DOES IT WITHOUT TRYING TO TURN A TATTOO SHOP INTO SOMETHING IT ISN’T.”

SARAH AND NICK COLELLA, OWNERS OF GREAT LAKES TATTOO

“If you own a shop and you want the operations and the marketing running without you in every piece of it, she’s who we’d send you to.”

SARAH AND NICK COLELLA, OWNERS OF GREAT LAKES TATTOO

“She organized the information most people protect: every task in her role, in person and remote, handed over clean.”
