About Rose Garretson

Project Maestro | Author of 14 books | Cooking Muse | Builder of Projects, Stories & Spaces — blending artistry & analysis to help people flourish I build things — projects, websites, stories, and spaces where people thrive. More than that, I build clarity and courage into the people and projects I touch.Hi, I’m Rose — Dallas-based Construction Project Manager, published author of 14 books, and a cooking muse who believes the right recipe can feed both body and soul. I live in the space where artistry and analysis meet: the piano and the project plan, the story arc and the stakeholder dashboard. At Sunoco, I’m part of a dynamic team running multimillion-dollar construction initiatives, navigating the complexities of retail builds with strategy, precision, and a touch of SaaS magic. From rolling out Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) in ServiceNow to streamlining workflows and scaling portfolios from $141M to 2,300+ sites, I specialize in making the complex simple — and the daunting doable. I’m also a builder of websites and words, weaving together visuals and language that connect. Whether it’s copy, design, or storytelling, I translate ideas into something that resonates. And always, I write. Recently, I’ve published for children — because storytelling isn’t just what I do, it’s how I live: crafting hope, truth, and transformation into every page, project, and person I encounter.And yes, Pigs do fly – at least mine do.
