Aloha! I’m Melissa…

…a 4-time Emmy award-winning creative leader and operations strategist with a track record of optimizing workflows, streamlining processes, and scaling high-performing teams. With 14+ years in creative production, I have successfully led cross-functional teams, developed operational efficiencies, and implemented strategic solutions that drive productivity, cost savings, and team performance.

Most recently, I enabled my team to increase productivity by 7% and reduced project intake turnaround from 5 days to 1 by developing tools for task management and refining end-to-end workstreams. Over my career, I have delivered 100+ regional and global esports productions, managing live broadcasts, social graphics, stage screen production, photography, and visual design for audiences ranging from 150 to 80,000 in-person attendees and millions of online viewers.

I bring a unique blend of strategic thinking, creative leadership, and operational execution—passionate about driving efficiency, fostering collaboration, and unlocking the full potential of teams. I am excited about opportunities to apply my expertise in operations and creative leadership to scale businesses and optimize processes for long-term growth.
