What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a full-time remote role where I can contribute both operationally and creatively, managing projects, coordinating teams, and bringing a design-informed perspective to the work.

I thrive in startups and creative environments where ownership and clear communication matter. Based in Vancouver, BC (PST), available for long-term engagements. Bilingual EN/ES.

I’m a bilingual Project Estimator and Operations Specialist who transforms ideas into actionable plans by streamlining workflows, managing logistics, and ensuring clarity through structured technical and creative documentation. I optimize digital tools and lead multidisciplinary teams in international remote environments.

In my roles, I oversee project lifecycles from intake to delivery, act as a stakeholder liaison, and produce cost reports and project documentation for stakeholder review. I also contribute creative leadership—producing high-end visual assets—and UX/UI support by developing wireframes and user flows, coordinating user interviews, and synthesizing findings into executive reports.
