Program & Project Management, PMP

Complex delivery, made calm.

Over five years leading cross-functional, client-facing delivery at award-winning creative agencies and startups. I build the systems, roadmaps, and relationships that turn tangled work into shipped work, and when things get sticky, I figure out why it's stuck, not just how to unstick it.

What I do

Where I create leverage for a team.

I've led end-to-end delivery in waterfall, hybrid, and agile environments, choosing the structure based on what the team and project actually need, not just process for the sake of it. From kickoff to gate reviews, I build the cadence a team will keep so leadership always knows what's shipping and when.

Kind words
Mingwei was absolutely amazing to work with...all of the organizational systems she put into place meant we were able to survive after she left.
Lead Developer · Design Agency
Top-tier when it came to project management. We never had any confusion about where we were in the process. [Mingwei] stuck to the plan and did it without making us feel overwhelmed.
Director of Communications · Henry Luce Foundation
Mingwei was a joy to work with — a great facilitator and note-taker, so nothing ever got dropped, with immediate follow-up after every meeting and a weekly digest that kept everything clear.
Director of Comms · Natural Areas Conservancy
Mingwei was fantastic. I wish she could manage all my projects and my whole life. I couldn't have worked with a better team.
