About

Creative operations and project management leader with a foundation in graphic design and experience managing the full lifecycle of projects across branding, web, and photo/video production. Known for translating client needs into clear scopes of work, structured timelines, and on-time, on-budget delivery. Systems-oriented and client-facing, with a steady track record of managing cross-disciplinary teams, resources, and quality in fast-paced creative environments.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote or hybrid role based in New York City in creative operations, project management, or production. I’m interested in working with teams where I can help organize and deliver branding, digital, and photo/video projects from concept through completion. I’m focused on roles that involve coordinating people, timelines, and creative output in a structured, fast-moving environment where clarity, accountability, and execution matter.
