Hi! Iā€™m Gabriela Garcia, a writer, editor, and brand consultant based in Chicago.

A little about me

  • I'm a writer and editor who specializes in creating and managing content for the beauty and lifestyle space. With a focus on content strategy, I help brands and publications connect with audiences through compelling stories, actionable advice, and irresistible offers. I have more than a decade of experience as a content creator in the digital media, corporate, and non-profit sectors.

  • I was most recently the Senior Beauty Editor at Editorialist.com where I led the vertical through expansive growth. Previously, I was an editor at The Everygirl Media Group, and my work can be seen in Fashionista, Bustle, Glamour, Her Agenda, Remezcla, and more.

  • Iā€™m a beauty expert whose work is cultivated by years of research, writing, and reporting on the latest trends and developments. I have also honed my skills in lifestyle, wellness, style, culture, film/tv, food, and parenting landscapes.

  • I am well-versed in SEO, content strategy, copywriting, brand campaigns, and social media copy. See my detailed resume here.

No matter your scope or format, letā€™s work together to deliver your story with impact and precision.
