About me
I'm an experienced project manager with a demonstrated background of content curation and art direction. I started my journey in communication design, and the nature of how I work has always been focused around developing creative processes and implementing strategies to drive motivation and make things happen across multiple mediums and formats. Over the last few years I have been placed within smaller companies and start-ups where ideation and attention to detail have been my biggest assets. I pride myself in being able to create a positive and productive culture for those around me, and feel most fulfilled when taking initiative to carry ideas forward and bring about peoples strengths to make great work.
