About

I turn creative chaos into calm, scalable systems.

For eleven-plus years I've been the person creative teams rely on to make the work flow: building the operations that let designers create, keep stakeholders in the loop, and make sure nothing important ever falls through the cracks. I'm equal parts systems-builder and people-person: I care as much about the humans doing the work as the metrics measuring it.

How I work

Expert, not precious

PMP-certified with a deep tool stack and a decade of scars, but I lead with clarity, not jargon. My goal is to solve the problem, not to look clever doing it.

Systems that serve people

Great operations should feel invisible. I build workflows that reduce friction and protect focus, so the team spends its energy on the work that only humans can do.

Empathy as a method

Change only sticks when people feel understood. I bring stakeholders along, translate between creative and business, and make adoption feel like relief, not another mandate.

Fluent in what's next

I don't just talk about AI. I build with it. From agent-powered dashboards to fully agentic studio operations, I use new tools to take the busywork off people's plates.

Beyond the work

I'm also the founder of Pegma Studio, where I create original artwork for home and clinical-care interiors. It keeps me close to the craft side of creative work, and it's my personal lab for pushing how far AI can take a lean creative operation. I hold a BA in English Literature, and I still believe that the ability to read carefully and write clearly is one of the most underrated operational skills there is.

Let's build something that runs beautifully

I'm open to creative and marketing operations roles in the Bay Area and beyond. If your team is scaling, or straining, I'd love to talk.
