About
Creative Project Manager and Graphic Designer with 20 years of experience leading creative execution, workflow organization, and cross-functional project management in fast-paced environments. Experienced managing 100+ creative and packaging projects simultaneously each year while ensuring timelines, stakeholder communication, and deliverables stay organized and on track.
My background combines hands-on design expertise with strong project management and creative operations leadership. Over the past 5 years, I helped improve organizational efficiency by creating SOPs, onboarding documentation, workflow processes, and scalable project systems that streamlined collaboration across teams. I developed Asana onboarding and training materials, onboarded new employees into project management systems, and created centralized filing systems for PDF and print proof organization to improve accessibility and consistency.
I thrive in high-volume creative environments where organization, communication, and process improvement are essential. Known for building structure around creative workflows, improving team efficiency, and supporting stakeholders from concept through production.
Currently pursuing my CAPM certification to continue expanding my project management expertise and leadership skills. -
