My name’s Selam [ se-lahm ], and I’ve worked in the creative digital space for over 8 years, producing beautifully and thoughtfully designed user experiences while nurturing genuine relationships with both my clients and team. I embody an entrepreneurial spirit, inspiring others to deliver meaningful work in a calm, harmonious and balanced space.

Some words to describe myself professionally?

People-centric, compassionate, intuitive, creative, visionary, empowering, perceptive, balanced

Having led numerous multi-disciplinary accounts, my extensive experience in program execution, creative strategic leadership, and team development, coupled with my deep commitment to fostering inclusive and empowering work environments would prove of great value to any team.

Historically, I’ve provided meticulous strategic planning and coordination with a broad range of stakeholders, effectively managing multicultural, cross-functional remote teams, sharpening my abilities to navigate complex operational dynamics and cultivate diverse, high-performing people.

The most fulfilling aspects of my work has been the opportunity to empower and guide people, as well as the organic relationships built with my clients and team based on the foundation of trust and empathy. By devising strategies that enhance team productivity and championing a positive work culture that values each individual's unique contributions, I've seen firsthand how a motivated team can achieve remarkable results. Coupled with my love for design and the creative space, I’m driven to now pivot my career to hold more of a focus on operational leadership roles that accentuate my passion and proficiency in developing people within creative spaces.

I have a keen interest in all things health and wellness, including meditation, mindfulness/awareness practices, healthful nutrient-dense cooking, restorative yoga and spending time outdoors in nature to name a few. I also enjoy interior design, architecture, art, photography, reading, styling, trying out new cuisines and experiences, and learning new insights about cultures through conversation, social immersion or travel.
