hello, world i’m — Creative Project Manager
about me
Project manager and digital producer between strategy, design and delivery.
Three years running client projects at a go-to-market studio for startups —
websites, Telegram bots, CRM automations, campaigns and video — and five
years building my own media, Paprika: a 32-person team, events, a print
magazine and a live map product. I take unclear briefs and turn them into a plan,
a team and a launched result.
