About

I’m an Operations & Delivery leader with 10 years of experience scaling teams, streamlining processes, and driving high-impact design and product delivery. Starting as a Business Analyst in 2015, I grew into Project & Program Management roles before leading Operations at top design studios. Along the way, I’ve managed 12+ projects simultaneously, guided 40+ designers, and built the frameworks — SOPs, project health reports, live resource trackers, and retention programs — that help teams perform at their best. I’m passionate about creating cultures of collaboration, accountability, and growth. My experience spans client engagement, resource planning, delivery governance, and strategic operations — always with the goal of aligning business objectives, user needs, and execution excellence. Looking ahead, I’m excited to take on larger challenges in program management, delivery leadership, and operations strategy — building systems and teams that scale impact globally.
