my approach
Briefs & Scopes
Every project starts with clarity. I focus on defining goals, deliverables, and audience early so the team has a strong foundation. Whether drafting a brief or translating client input into scope, I set direction that’s aligned, actionable, and creatively grounded.
Communication & Feedback
I keep communication clear, consistent, and calm. Whether I’m updating clients, leading check-ins, or managing feedback rounds, I prioritize transparency and reduce noise so the team can focus on creating excellent work.
Timelines & Workflows
I create timelines that reflect how creative work actually moves—from concept through approvals. My workflows balance structure and flexibility, helping teams stay focused, on track, and in sync, even when priorities shift.
File Systems & Tools
I design systems that make collaboration easy and creative work findable. From PM tools to file structures, I set up operations that support flow, tailoring platforms like Asana, Notion, or Airtable to fit the project’s needs.
Budget & Resources
I build plans that support great creative within real-world limits. From estimating to tracking, I manage time, talent, and costs efficiently—ensuring the right people are in the right place at the right time, without burnout or overages.

about me
Strategic and results-oriented Producer & Project Manager experienced leading cross-functional teams across creative production, marketing campaigns, and digital platform initiatives. I’ve successfully managed 75+ projects from kickoff through delivery, maintaining a 100% on-time completion rate. I specialize in turning ambiguity into actionable plans—streamlining workflows, managing budgets, and aligning creative and operational teams to deliver high-impact work. My process improvements have cut project cycle times by over 40%, while consistently delivering projects 15–20% under budget through proactive planning, hands-on negotiation, and efficient resource allocation.
I’ve led work for fast-growing eCommerce brands like O Positiv Health and Saint James Iced Tea, as well as established names like McDonald’s, Lyft, and Chevron—giving me a strong grasp of how to balance agility with structure across industries. I thrive in team environments and am known for my ability to build trust, foster collaboration, and keep communication flowing between creatives, clients, and stakeholders. With roots in creative production and a growing focus on project operations and management, I bridge the gap between big-picture thinking and day-to-day execution. Whether I’m leading content production, guiding team alignment, or streamlining workflows, I bring energy, clarity, and a people-first approach to every stage of the process.
Let’s connect—whether you’re looking for a sharp Producer/PM, building something new, or just enjoy thoughtful conversations about process and creativity.
