Hi, I'm Shay de Silva.
I help smart, capable people get important work done without burning themselves out or tying themselves in knots. After 20+ years of being brought in by companies of all sizes to lead projects that often started as messy, stalled, or already falling apart, I've learned that progress doesn't come from fancy tools or perfect plans. It comes from simple systems, honest conversations, and focusing on what truly matters.
I'm a PMP-certified project management consultant and educator based in Washington, DC — and the founder of Solution Garden.
To make your life easier and give you the skills to confidently tackle any project.
