About Shayla Ibanez

Turning ideas into action and chaos into clarity—one project at a time. With over a decade of experience in project management, digital strategy, and user experience, I specialize in bringing teams together to deliver seamless client experiences. I’m currently thriving as a Project Manager (and occasional fire-juggler) at The Basement, where I lead cross-functional teams, manage client relationships, and ensure every detail aligns with the big picture. My career spans industries like entertainment, hospitality, tech startups, and professional sports—giving me a knack for adapting to any challenge and delivering results that leave clients genuinely impressed. When I’m not keeping projects on track, I’m living and traveling full-time in an RV with my senior rescue dog and partner, exploring new places, and dreaming up ways to turn my content creation into a thriving side hustle. Let’s connect—whether you’re looking for a project whisperer, a marketing collaborator, or just some travel stories!
