I’m Emily Best, founder of Golden Grove Creative. As a professional musician, journalist, writer, and digital marketer with a lifelong passion for storytelling, I believe stories are the thread that holds the fabric of thriving communities.

Having grown up on B.C.'s west coast, I am starkly aware of the myriad of challenges creatives and small businesses face as they move through their careers. As a storyteller, I also know the power our stories can have when we tell them well. When we tell stories rooted in genuine connection, truth and integrity, we can build connections that last a lifetime.

My work blends multimedia design, writing, and strategy to help creatives and small businesses express their vision with honesty and confidence, while navigating the emotional and structural barriers that often get in the way.

At the heart of what I do is a genuine passion for bringing out the best in others. I combine creativity and strategy to reveal the heart and intention behind your brand—and to present it beautifully.
