Welcome to Great Idea Girl (GIG):
Helping you Launch and Grow a Successful Business

Whether you’re looking to turn your creative passion into a profitable online store or simply searching for guidance to launch a new venture, Great Idea Girl is here to give you the full story behind building a business in today. I provide no-nonsense support for aspiring entrepreneurs—whether you’re crafting handmade goods, cooking up artisan foods, or creating designs for on-demand production – I want to help you understand how to plan, launch, and grow a business that will last.

With a diverse background in E-commerce, IT, Sales, and Marketing, and 20+ years of experience launching handmade brands, running popup shops, and developing online stores, I offer a unique blend of expertise. I’ve seen many great small brands launch and I’ve seen some close for a lot of predictable reasons that could have been prevented with the right information and planning. I understand every aspect of what it takes to succeed in today’s business landscape because I’ve lived it—from corporate roles to side hustles and freelance ventures.
