The second was an interactive world map built into the Our Reach section of Ziel’s Company Profile page, visually showcasing their global footprint across 5 continents covering cannabis, hemp, nuts, seeds, dates, and prunes operators.

I coordinated development and design teams throughout both projects, managed scope and timelines, and kept Ziel’s stakeholders informed at every phase from kickoff through launch.

About Me

I started my career as a Flash animator and interactive developer, spent years building responsive websites and custom WordPress themes as a front-end developer, and eventually found my way into project management — which turned out to be where I do my best work. These days I am a Senior Digital Project Manager specializing in website rebuilds, CMS implementations, and cross-functional digital delivery across agency and in-house environments. I am based in Portland, Oregon, and I bring a technical background that lets me speak the same language as the developers and designers I work with every day. When I am not managing projects I am usually hiking, backpacking, cycling, or exploring the Pacific Northwest with my family.
