Kristen Marie — Co-Founder

Hi, I’m Kristen—a freelance growth strategist, six-figure Upworker, and freelancing coach living life on my own terms. After years in the hustle of toxic 70-hour workweeks and office politics, I walked away from corporate...twice. The first time, I booked a one-way ticket overseas and started freelancing to fund a year of solo travel. The second time, I left corporate for good and rebuilt my freelance business with more clarity, strategy, and intention than ever before. Fast forward: I now earn a six-figure income working <25 hours a week with long-term clients I genuinely enjoy, all while living my best life in Barcelona. Now, I also teach other skilled professionals how to do the same based on my decade of experience as both a successful freelance consultant AND an Upwork recruiter (I've evaluated thousands of freelance profiles and proposals while hiring for my clients). Through my courses and coaching, I help freelancers master finding (and keeping) premium clients on Upwork so they can build successful (and sustainable) freelance businesses. If you're craving more freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment in your work, I'm here to show you what’s possible through freelancing...and how to make it happen.
