Creative operations and project managementNew York

Part planner,part maker.

I’m Leila Osman. For five years I’ve run the launches creative teams dream up: rebrands, site builds, trade shows and campaigns. My job is to keep every person, file and deadline moving in the same direction.

I started in-house as the Marketing & Design Specialist at Oracle Hearing Center. From there I spent three years at Rubies II, America’s largest costume company, where I rebranded a $3M+ Amazon Brand Store, launched 75+ campaigns, ran trade shows and relaunched the website.

In 2025 I went independent, taking Zakat Coin, Tech Day of Pink and Heiam Collective from first idea to launch day. I sat between founders, designers and developers, and turned their plans into schedules everyone could follow.

Now I’m looking for a team to join, in creative operations or project management, where the work is turning big ideas into clear plans and seeing them through.

I studied marketing and fine arts, so I can talk timelines with a dev team and type choices with a designer in the same meeting.

One of
the Kind.

Off the clock, I run my own handmade jewelry brand. Every piece is made once, by hand, and the whole business runs on an Airtable system I built for production, inventory and costs.

It’s the same instinct as my day job: make something beautiful, then build the system that keeps it running.

Three habits I bring to every team.

Untangle it first.Messy briefs, long email chains and moving dates become one clear plan before anything gets built.
Keep everyone talking.I sit between creative, dev and leadership, translating so nobody is left waiting on anybody.
Finish it beautifully.Trained in fine arts, I care about the details as much as the deadline, and I don’t trade one for the other.

Let’s build something that runs beautifully.
