Our Team
Lisa Quinn, Co-Founder
Strategic soul, storyteller, and relentless advocate for realness.
Lisa Quinn is the heart behind Root Elements, a purpose-driven agency built on her belief that real people with powerful stories deserve to be seen, heard, and supported. With a background spanning education advocacy, creative strategy, and organizational leadership, she brings both structure and soul to platform-building and brand alignment.
Before founding Root Elements, Lisa worked as an Associate Producer and Casting Manager, developing a sharp eye for talent and a deep understanding of how to match real people with the right platforms. Her production and storytelling experience shaped her conviction that the most powerful work comes from authenticity and purpose. Root Elements is her response: a space where representation is intentional, stories are sacred, and no one has to perform to be valued.
A single mom, military veteran, and lifelong champion of underrepresented voices, Lisa lives the values she champions. Whether she is guiding a new creator, advising a brand on inclusive strategy, or supporting a young changemaker, she shows up with clarity, compassion, and purpose.
Outside of work, Lisa is often dreaming up new ideas in the quiet, making power moves behind the scenes, and raising two sons who remind her daily why this work matters.
Emily Glasco, Co-Founder
Architect of ideas, creative strategist, and unapologetic pursuer of actionable insights.
Emily Glasco is the brain behind Root Elements, a strategic force with a sharp eye for talent, a love of systems that work, and a refusal to let industry noise drown out meaningful stories. With a background in creative development, brand strategy, and talent representation, she knows how to position creators for impact without losing the plot.
Before Root Elements, Emily worked across multiple arms of the creator economy — from digital campaigns to casting and brand partnerships — building an intuitive sense of what works, what doesn’t, and what is just performative fluff. She knows how to build from the ground up and deliver under pressure, a mix that informs every deal, pitch, and partnership she leads.
A military veteran like Lisa, Emily is also a lifelong writer and systems thinker with zero tolerance for empty promises. Her approach blends precision and instinct. She believes creators deserve more than visibility; they deserve infrastructure, autonomy, and strategy that lasts.
Beyond refining pitch decks and obsessing over marketing data, Emily enjoys hunting for truth in unexpected places, tinkering with new ventures, and collaborating with her sister to turn chaos into forward momentum.
