Jewel Mlnarik
Consultant,
Maker & Artist
Yep, that's an L between the M & N [muhl-NAHR-ick]. It's Bohemian.
I've been a cross-functional "project whisperer" for web & mobile for 20 years. Along the way, I've deisgned & implemented global processes, scaled companies, architected digital products to last*, recruited teams, led remotely, failed & succeeded, produced award-winning experiences & founded a few communities of which I'm ridiculously proud.
I enjoy cross-pollinating ideas & tactics to
increase our collective potential
& leaving every space/group/one better than I find them.
