## About

```text
At MODLOFT, I moved from Creative Project Manager to Head of Creative Operations, leading the creative department’s operational direction and managing a team of designers, renderers, and external partners. I own the production pipeline from briefing to delivery across product launches, e-commerce, and marketing assets.

I designed and built a product onboarding workflow in Asana, using automations to clarify product stages and improve cross-team alignment. I also led the visual direction for MODLOFT’s brand refresh, owning the spatial and interiors work and establishing updated guidelines adopted by creative and marketing teams.
