Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/annab1

I’m a creative operations and design programs leader with over a decade of experience supporting brand, marketing, and design teams through systems thinking and strategic partnership.

My focus has always been on building the foundations that enable creative teams to thrive—whether that’s through clearer resourcing models, smarter workflows, or centralized tooling that brings alignment across complex orgs. I love translating chaos into clarity and working in the in-between: connecting creatives with non-creatives, and strategy with execution.

My experience spans global campaigns, cross-functional planning, and scalable design systems—and I’m especially passionate about where creativity and technology intersect. I believe in ethical, human-centered uses of AI and building systems that elevate—not replace—creativity.

I’m drawn to roles that center design thinking, real human connection, and companies shaping industries through bold ideas and strong culture.
