AUTOMOTIVE PROJECT MANAGER

Project Management

I want to make life better, more fun, and
ultra-interactive. I want to make the things
we all love easier to obtain and durable
enough to hand down to our future
generations. I love being apart of a niche
culture, one where creativity is encouraged,
and opportunity thrives. I am here for us.

Bridging vintage vibes with new tech is a
favorite practice of mine. Let's cruise into the
future with love and style.

1 YEAR 9 MONTHS+
Peace Vans is ultimately about connection, community, and the great outdoors. Peace Vans Vintage is a space where I can help others envision, and ultimately build, their dream Volkswagen campervan.

Let's say you own an old VW van and trusting it has been	tough. I'm here to build that trust via research and real life experiences so that your
next drive from one coast to the other is without a thing on your mind except for the path ahead and the food to be eaten.
From intake to final delivery; comfort, quality, curb appeal, reliability, culture, history, and vibe are what I focus on when building a plan with each client and their VW Vanagon.
Client budgets range from $500 to $100k+ and being able to tailor a repair or restoration to each individuals needs is a timely but rewarding
process that is successful only when all parties align. Using tools such as Trello and Asana help tie up loose ends and keep the project moving.
