Helping Small Businesses Find Their Voice
Every business has a story worth telling. My mission is to help you uncover yours, translate it into a clear brand identity, and build a marketing strategy that attracts loyal customers and drives lasting success.
Does this sound like you?
You’ve built a business you’re proud of, but you’re overwhelmed and unsure how to market it.
Perhaps you’re unsure where to focus, or maybe you’ve tried doing it all yourself but haven’t achieved the results you’d hoped for. That’s where I come in. I partner with small business owners, content creators, and entrepreneurs who are ready for clarity, consistency, and strategies that actually work, so you can focus on running your business with confidence.
I Work With Small Business Owners Who…
Are passionate about their business but feel overwhelmed by marketing.
Want a professional brand identity that stands out from the competition.
Struggle to find the time (or expertise) to manage social media, SEO, or content consistently.
Need clear, actionable strategies instead of cookie-cutter solutions.
Value a trusted partner who can provide guidance, support, and expertise along the way.
I started GJ Design Company out of a simple belief:
SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS DESERVE MARKETING THAT WORKS AS HARD AS THEY DO.
As an entrepreneur, I’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to compete in a crowded marketplace with limited resources. Too often, business owners are left to piece together their own marketing, juggling social media posts, websites, emails, and branding, without the time, tools, or expertise to make it all work together.
With over a decade of experience as a professional communicator, consultant, educator, and marketer, I knew I could help change that. I launched GJ Design Company to provide small businesses access to the kind of strategic, tailored marketing support that makes growth not only possible but sustainable.
My background as a Certified Business Advisor© allows me to see the bigger picture of how marketing connects to your overall business goals, and my expertise in strategy development, branding, messaging, content creation, SEO, and social media ensures I can execute the details that matter.
What makes my approach different is that I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every business has a unique story, and my role is to help you uncover yours, translate it into a clear strategy, and give you the confidence to share it in a way that resonates with your audience. Whether you are looking for coaching, support to strengthen your results, or a trusted partner to manage your marketing, my mission is to help you grow your business with clarity and confidence.
