👀 ABOUT ME
I’m Salina — a creative thinker, connector, and world-builder who finally stopped shrinking.
For a long time, I lived life trying to be small. Safe. Logical. I took the “right” jobs, did what was expected, and tried to silence the part of me that wanted to do things differently. But eventually, I reached a breaking point — I was clocking in to a job that made me feel like I was withering. I remember thinking, “If I don’t leave, I’ll die a slow creative death.”
So I left. No plan B. No savings. Just a deep knowing that I couldn’t ignore who I really was anymore.
This site, these products, this studio — all of it is a result of choosing myself.
🧠 WHAT I DO
I don’t just build content. I build worlds.
I make space for overlooked ideas, untold stories, and people like me — those navigating the sacred, messy space between who they’ve been and who they’re becoming.
I’m the founder of GrandValli, a hybrid creative studio that supports small businesses, visionaries, and creatives who don’t want to follow the rules — they want to rewrite them.
I also create digital tools like The Sacred Middle Planner and other workbooks that help you get unstuck and reconnect with your creative rhythm. Each product is a reflection of something I’ve had to learn or navigate in real life.
💭 MY WORK IS GUIDED BY:
-
Experimentation — I create in motion, not after it’s perfect.
-
Curiosity — I follow what pulls me, not what’s popular.
-
Connection — Between people, stories, and ideas that deserve space.
-
Freedom — I believe we all deserve to live unshrunken, unsilenced, and unafraid.
I don’t have it all figured out — and that’s the point.
This isn’t about perfection. This is about truth in process.
