Hi, I’m Marie
I’m a Creative Services Manager and Creative Operations Leader based in Albuquerque, with a background in graphic design and a long-standing love for well-run projects and happy teams.
I’ve spent my career in agency environments, leading cross-functional teams, managing complex workflows, and building systems that help creative work shine.
Clarity. Collaboration. Execution.

Where Creativity Meets Execution
I’m a creative operations leader with a designer’s brain and a project manager’s heart — which means I care deeply about both great ideas and how they actually get done. For over 15 years, I’ve partnered with creative, digital, and operations teams to untangle complexity, improve workflows, and deliver work everyone’s proud of.
What I Bring to the Table
I bring a calm, empathetic, systems-minded approach to leadership. I ask good questions, keep teams aligned, and build structure that supports creativity instead of getting in its way.
Lead and mentor creative and digital teams
Plan and oversee projects from scope to launch
Forecast resourcing, bandwidth, and budgets
Build processes that support creativity (not stifle it)
Champion quality, craft, and brand integrity
I’m especially good at:
Turning chaos into clarity
Helping teams work better together
Balancing creative ambition with real-world constraints (budgets and timelines included)
