Brand strategist and project manager driving on-time brand development and creative delivery across cross-functional teams.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can lead brand and creative projects end-to-end, align stakeholders quickly, reduce scope creep, and protect delivery commitments—working with cross-functional creatives to ship on time, with clear briefs and early risk handling.

I’m a brand strategist and project lead with 5+ years of experience managing creative projects from brief to delivery in agency settings. I build delivery predictability by translating high-level objectives into actionable briefs, with fewer miscommunications and faster decisions.

As Creative Director & Project Manager at BrandFuse, I manage 10+ concurrent brand and design projects across multiple client accounts, owning project plans, milestone tracking, and regular stakeholder updates. I develop scopes, timelines, and resource plans from the ground up to reduce scope creep, and I lead project reviews and standups to identify risks early and resolve blockers quickly.

I also bring a design background—able to speak both languages fluently—which helps my teams align faster and deliver work that reflects what clients asked for. Before moving deeper into project leadership, I delivered brand identities, digital design systems, and marketing assets on schedule, and I planned structured ICT training programs as an instructor.
