I turn founder-brained businesses into scalable operations.

Your business is growing—but if you’re still the one holding it all together, that’s a problem.

I’m Marissa Garza, a systems strategist for creative founders who’ve outgrown the seat-of-the-pants phase. If your team relies on your brain more than actual systems, I help you fix that. Through my Operational Clarity Framework™, we turn your internal brilliance into structure your team can follow, build consistency without turning your business into a factory, and scale without dropping the ball on quality or burning you out. Most of my clients come to me when they realize: “We can’t keep growing like this—and I’m the bottleneck.” If that’s you, let’s solve it.
