Scrappy Systems

​Marisa Crous is a storyteller turned system-builder, balancing a thriving freelance strategy biz with her fashion accessories brand, Spicy Ava.

​She went from fashion editor to B2B content strategistand now she’s running two very different businesses without burning out. Her secret? Systems that support creativity and consistency. Whether she’s planning a launch or juggling client work, Marisa has built scrappy-but-solid workflows that keep things moving (and actually fun).

​This isn’t a talk about “doing it all.” It’s about building systems that make space for better work, better boundaries, and the freedom to follow through on big ideas. Marisa’s walking us through the behind-the-scenes processes that keep her solo biz (and side brand) running smooth, even when things get busy.

​This session is for freelancers, creatives, and consultants who wear a few hats—and want to stop reinventing the wheel every week.
Come steal systems that actually support your life, not just your to-do list.
