HOLA!

I’M GIZANE VIVE

Over the past 15 years, I have built my own eccentric career for myself. I have worked at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, led teams in the Dominican Republic, designed and coordinated educational programmes in Panama's jungle, facilitated workshops in Scotland. In the Canary Islands I managed an office, co-founded a Precious Plastic project and a coworking space. In Berlin, I worked in tech as a UX designer for a start-up and collaborated as a community manager in several co-working spaces. Also managed a campground in Iceland. Worked remotely as virtual assistant, operations manager and as project manager for small companies across Europe. And over 15 years' experience working as designer in most of my jobs, with clients and collabs.

I can fit into many roles, but it is difficult to put me into one specific one. I am a multipotentialite with degrees in design and sustainable human development and certifications in frameworks such as Scrum Master and UX Design. At my core, I am a creative with a ‘human first’ approach. I consider myself as an expert in processes and systems, and above all, in team experience.

In each of the seven countries I have lived in and in each of the fifteenth cross-functional teams I have worked with, I have noticed that the best skilled and competent teams don't leave jobs; they leave bad management and bad working environments. My biggest goal is to provide teams with the right structure and design a culture that is aligned with the company values, in which they feel represented, seen, valuable and creative. This benefits both the company and the worker and is key to sustainable growth.
