Hi! 👋🏼 My name is Adrian and I’m a Certified Scrum Master (CSM®) and Program Manager -- sometimes called a Project Manager, sometimes a Producer, but always working to help make teams more effective and efficient at what they do and making sure cross-dependencies are aware and aligned.

I currently work at Stripe 💳 as a Design Program Manager, focused on design operations to enable product designers to work on the most thoughtful and graceful experiences for our customers.

In the past, I've worked at rocket ships 🚀 Peloton 🚲 as a Design Program Manager primarily focused on member engagement and the in-class experience; and Slack (pre-IPO and pre-acquisition!) as a Project Manager working with the smart folks responsible for all help & learning.

Prior to tech, I've spent many years in agency world, working on everything from digital campaigns and websites to more traditional advertising like TV and OOH for some of Canada's most well-known brands.

I pride myself in being able to calmly lead project teams through (occasionally) tough situations, and empowering the subject matter experts on my team to do their job to the best of their ability. Open, accurate, and up-to-date communication is my goal with all project teams, to ensure alignment and forward movement at all times.

I was born in Manila, grew up in Vancouver, spent a few unbelievable years in Tokyo, entered the world of product in Toronto, and now based in New York City. In my off-time, I immerse myself in arts, pop culture, video games, and my pets.
