Available to hire
I’m Carissa Pugeda, a LA-based Creative & Growth Strategist who specializes in social media, influencer marketing, and community building. I think in strategy first, I don’t just manage content, but I build the creative direction and partnerships behind brands that people actually connect with. From driving $2.1M+ in EMV at GHD to growing creator pipelines and producing campaigns with real engagement, I bring both the big-picture thinking and the hands-on execution to make social work.
