Message

At Grandesign, I built a centralized production function from the ground up, establishing standardized workflows and a two-person team that supported media planners across eight U.S. offices.

I designed a live, color-coded Google Sheets dashboard to consolidate project status and pricing. It improved visibility and accountability, reduced routine status-request emails, and helped identify missing handoffs before deadlines were affected.

I coordinated 20+ concurrent projects from approved plans through specifications, vendor assignment, proofing, production, shipping, and installation. I also matched vendors to project requirements and negotiated pricing to help protect budgets and timelines.

Across production, account management, and education roles, I’ve coordinated schedules, documentation, reporting, and communication across multiple stakeholders. I’ve also developed tracking systems and quickly learned complex tools, including when I transitioned Lamar High School’s intervention program from Sonday to Barton.
