About

With 15+ years spanning brand events, creative operations, and program management, I specialize in building systems that make creative work flow. Through MIRJ Creative, I consult with marketing agencies and brand-side teams on AI workflow design, helping them cut execution overhead and amplify output without burning out their people.

My background at Capital One and MAC Cosmetics gave me a deep foundation in brand activations, experiential marketing, and stakeholder engagement. I bring that operational fluency into every engagement, whether I'm auditing an agency's content pipeline, designing an AI-powered campaign workflow, or coaching a team through a creative reset.

Beyond strategy, I build the systems myself. Working as an AI-directed developer, I direct Claude to design and ship real technical infrastructure, client onboarding flows connected to Stripe and Formspree, budget planning tools, automated document generation, and internal operations dashboards. I own the business logic and workflow architecture, then direct AI tools to execute the build, giving clients production-ready systems without the overhead of a traditional dev team.

Maya R.  |  MIRJ Creative Client
"I walked into this process overwhelmed, creatively disconnected, and struggling to organize my next chapter. I left with structure, direction, and a clearer understanding of how I want to build my life and career moving forward."
Sya Marie  |  MIRJ Creative Client
"MIRJ Creative helped me translate all of the ideas, pressure, and transition I was carrying into an actual vision with direction. I felt clearer after one session than I had in months."
