About Me.

I’m Kyra Stigler—an entrepreneur, creative strategist, and community builder with a heart for growth, healing, and purpose-driven work. I hold a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with an emphasis in Data Analytics from Grand Canyon University, which allows me to blend strategy, creativity, and data-driven insight to help individuals, small businesses, and organizations grow with clarity and confidence.

Beyond education, my work is deeply rooted in community. I am the founder of Root & Grind, a creative brand and digital agency focused on branding, website design, digital literacy, and creative wellness. My work also extends into youth sports, supporting teams and leagues through design, marketing, photography, and storytelling that highlights growth both on and off the field.

As a faith-based single mother of three, I bring lived experience into everything I do. I understand resilience, rebuilding, and what it means to lead with integrity while navigating life’s transitions. Much of my community involvement centers on empowering women, supporting families, advocating for healing through creativity and movement, and helping people gain confidence through digital education and entrepreneurship.

At my core, I believe growth is not just about business—it’s about people. Everything I build is rooted in service, stewardship, and the belief that when we are supported, informed, and encouraged, we all thrive.
