The Heart behind the Hustle
Get to know the team that’s ready to help grow your brand.
Alyssa Lincoln
Lead Account Executive & Director of Operations
Alyssa is the creative heart behind the hustle. With her professional roots firmly planted in graphic design, she laid the ideal foundation to evolve into the marketing and branding world. With over a decade’s worth of experience, Alyssa easily weaves between the creative, right-brained side with its more left-brained, performance-based aspects.
After graduating from the University of Tampa, Alyssa moved to NYC to work for media giant CBS. She joined a company division that focused on custom solutions for national and local brands and was responsible for designing revenue-generating presentations and sales packages, as well as creating branded content and digital ads.
Later she moved back to Tampa and began working for Laser Spine Institute as a graphic designer and developed award-winning patient materials. During this time, Alyssa was motivated to seek a deeper understanding of her work and started to create through the lens of the user’s experience. Questioning how her audience perceived the messaging not only became a pillar of Alyssa’s professional philosophy but it also produced more effective, powerful results for her clients.
Following Laser Spine Institute, Alyssa took a job at a nationwide pool supplier. There she honed her skills as a creative leader, directing a team of designers to develop consumer-focused campaign materials to support franchisees.
In 2022, Alyssa joined the Heart & Hustle Brands team, where she is responsible for account management, sets the creative vision behind each client’s brand, manages any number of daily operations, and makes high fashion out of wearing all the different hats.

About the Founder
After 15 years of building successful industrial and construction equipment dealership brands, Stacey Harrison’s path changed when the housing market crashed in 2008. She saw that time as an opportunity to expand her skills and purpose by focusing on brands that improved health and wellness.
Stacey Harrison
Chief Executive Hustler
From backhoes to back surgery, Stacey spent five years working alongside some of the smartest, hardest-working marketing professionals to grow a nationally recognized disruptive spine surgery company before starting her own business. Partnering with the top creative and media agencies in the world, she saw the inefficiency in processes that made working with a large agency both expensive and time-consuming. She also saw the challenges of hiring inexperienced freelancers who needed lots of direction for lackluster results.
“I knew there had to be a better way for small- and medium-sized businesses that need creative services or marketing assistance but couldn’t justify a full-time staff.”
That’s why she started Heart & Hustle Brands – to offer affordable, outsourced creative services like branding, graphic design, and web design, paired with strategic oversight and execution for campaign management.
Today, Heart & Hustle Brands curates a team of talented and experienced marketers with a track record of driving results for brands like yours.
