Ciao! I'm Giulia, your Soulful Strategist
Tending to the roots of your brand and life, one mindful step at a time.
I’m a bit like a good lasagna—layered and full of flavor. Here goes.
I'm French-Italian, a Cancer Sun, Taurus Moon, Scorpio Rising, 4/6 Projector, mom to a little boy named Noah and cat mom to another boy named Pluto (which is also the astrocartography line I currently live on - IYKYK).
I'm a brand strategist with over a decade of experience, and a relentless believer that growth is better when it’s intentional. Currently based in the Italian Alps, I've got a few languages in my vocabulary and a few stamps on my passport (I've lived in France, the UK, the US, the Middle-East, Portugal and now Italy).
Once upon a time, I powered through life on 7 cups of coffee a day and little to no sleep (I have so much love for that girl, she just didn't know another way). I religiously rewatch Harry Potter every year, snack on raw pasta like it’s trail mix, and obsess over making every corner of my life as cozy as possible. That includes my brand and business too—because who says strategy can’t feel like your favorite fluffy blanket?
But let’s be honest: our world doesn’t exactly encourage slowing down or doing things differently. Hustle culture glorifies speed over depth, and somewhere along the way, it’s easy to lose yourself in the chaos...
For years, I lived in the fast lane. I chased milestones, measured my worth by my to-do list, and wore burnout like a badge of honor. But underneath it all, I felt completely disconnected—from my work, from myself, and from the life I was building.
Then, five years ago, I had an epiphany while watching the sunrise over the Himalayas in Nepal (this is the 6am shot). I realized that building something meaningful—whether a life, a brand, or a dream—can’t be rushed. Growth happens below the surface, in the small, quiet moments where we plant seeds, tend to them, and let them bloom in their own time. And growth without roots is unsustainable.
I needed to slow down, breathe, and rebuild—this time with purpose. That’s how Groundwork was born: from a deep desire to help others align their lives and work with what truly matters.With a decade of branding experience and a soulful, intuitive approach, I bring a blend of strategy and heart to everything I do to help burnt-out founders, creative souls, and purpose-driven entrepreneurs rediscover balance and build something meaningful—without losing sight of who they are.

I believe the best brands—and lives—are built from the inside out. I want to empower you to reconnect with your roots, align with your values, and cultivate meaningful growth that’s sustainable, soulful, and deeply your own.
Growth starts below the surface.
The most vibrant growth happens unseen, in the soil where strong roots take hold. Whether in life or business, we believe that grounding yourself in clarity and purpose is the first step to flourishing. Everything meaningful grows from a well-tended foundation.
Life and business should feel organic, Not Forced. The best ideas and decisions come when we stop pushing and start listening. Just as rivers carve their path with ease, we help you design a life and brand that moves with intention and flow—unforced and beautifully natural.
Intentionality is the sunlight your vision needs. Every great vision needs light to grow. Intentionality is what helps your work and life thrive, illuminating the way forward with purpose and clarity. When you nurture your goals with focus, they bloom brighter than ever.
Seasons are part of the journey. Nature reminds us that growth isn’t constant—it ebbs and flows. Some seasons call for planting, others for pruning. By embracing these natural rhythms, you’ll find peace and alignment in every phase of your journey.
A strong foundation yields beautiful blooms. A flourishing brand or life doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of mindful care, consistency, and love. With the right attention, even the smallest seed can grow into something extraordinary—your dreams are no different.
Growth is meant to be shared. Every bloom, every milestone, every step forward is a gift—not just for you, but for the community and world around you. Your growth creates ripples that inspire and nourish others. This is where your journey comes full circle.
THE ROOTS WE GROW FROM
Everything I do is rooted in the belief that growth begins beneath the surface. Building a life or brand that lasts isn’t about speed—it’s about intention, care, and alignment.
Here are the values I nurture:
DEEP BREATHS OVER QUICK FIXES
ALIGNMENT OVER APPROVAL
MAGIC OVER METRICS
*BUT HEY, I LOVE GOOD DATA TOO ;)
growth over perfection
INTENTIONALITY OVER URGENCY
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK WITH ME
I Listen Deeply: To you, your vision, and the rhythm of your life. Every brand, every individual, has its own unique pace and path. I honor that.
I Focus on the Roots: Before anything else, we’ll dig deep—into your values, your purpose, and the foundations of what you’re building. Because real growth starts there.
I Embrace Balance: Your brand and your life should thrive together, not compete for your energy. My work isn’t just about strategies; it’s about creating harmony.
This isn’t just a business to me—it’s a calling. Because I've been there, and I want to show you that you don’t have to choose between building something extraordinary and living a life that feels grounded, calm, and aligned.
Think of me as your cheerleader, strategist, and cosmic sidekick all rolled into one. I bring over a decade of branding experience, a knack for cutting through the noise, and a deep love for the process of helping people grow—without ever losing the fun. I’ll crack a joke when things get heavy, cheer you on when things get hard, and remind you to exhale when it all feels like too much.
