Hi ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ Iโm Joshua (he/him) ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐บ๐ธ
Iโm a well-rounded Design Ops / Program Mgr / Creative Project Mgr with 7+ years of experience driving diverse teams at Disney, Google, Instagram, Qualia, Khan Academy, and Hilton.
I offer career mentorship, as well as how to navigate a meaningful and purposeful mid-career break for corporate employees. You can book me for ongoing or one-off sessions via MentorCruise โจ
From producing theme park attractions ๐ข, to launching augmented reality experiences ๐คณ, managing branding campaigns at a startup ๐ก, joining a non-profit education tech org ๐, and finally leading the global digital design operations at the biggest hospitality chain there is ๐จ โ Iโve done them all.
I thrive in multi-disciplinary, fast-paced teams, and ambiguous environments. My role is to put structures in place โ to empower by establishing scalable processes, fostering a healthy team culture, managing resources, building stakeholder relationships, and connecting the dots while shepherding ๐ projects successfully to the finish line.
As someone who has been navigating a windy creative career, including a mid-career break, I decided to be a mentor for other professionals out there via MentorCruise. If youโre building a career in Design Ops/Creative Project Mgmt/Design Program Mgmt, or if youโre contemplating of a mid-career break โ Iโd be honored to be your mentor and help navigate your journey!
โWe keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because weโre curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.โ

I am a self-published poet ๐. As an ambivert, I believe that written words are just as powerful as spoken. Check out my book Not All Fallen Is Lost and some writing Iโve done! Along with Jasmine Lawrence ๐ง๐พ, I co-hosted Align by Line, a podcast where we shared candid conversations about life with the help of poetry.
I also create short form social media content as I travel (@thisisourstop). I do it not to become an influencer, but to have it as a creative outlet and to share it with friends & families.
