PMEZ was born from a simple idea: project management is too useful to stay trapped in the corporate world.
We’re a mother-daughter team who have used these practices for years—at work and at home. Whether planning family adventures, organizing community events, or just navigating everyday challenges, we have seen firsthand how these tools make life easier.
But too many people still struggle to bring their ideas to life or get stressed by daily problems without realizing that proven project management techniques could help. We got tired of watching this happen. So we created PMEZ.
We stripped out the jargon and tossed the complexity to create three simple, practical guides:
- HACKS practical ways to handle everyday challenges.
- PLAYBOOK a step-by-step guide for turning big ideas into reality.
- ROADMAP an easy path for learning ‘official’ project management concepts.
Since 2020 we have been sharing and teaching these ideas to regular people. Our goal is simple: to help people reduce stress and bring their ideas to life.


Hi, I’m Kathleen, an ex-technology professional with 35 years of experience at Nokia, where I transformed leading-edge concepts ideas into usable solutions. Along the way, I discovered my passion for not only making ideas a reality but teaching others how to do the same and not stress-out.
Now, through PM-EZ, I combine my expertise in project management, technology and education to help everyday people tackle challenges with confidence. I love speaking to groups of all sizes, sharing practical tools and insights that anyone can use to bring their ideas to life.
When I’m not teaching or presenting, you’ll find me outdoors—hiking, kayaking and drawing inspiration from nature’s balance and resilience.

And I’m Kelly, a program lead at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine, where manage grants and initiatives that drive meaningful impact. With years of experience in nonprofits and a knack for organizing complex projects, I’ve also used my project management skills to support local theater productions—helping creative visions come to life behind the scenes.
When I’m not at work, you’ll find me outdoors— climbing, skiing, or camping. Nature is where I recharge and find perspective, much like the focus I bring to the projects I manage.
I’m passionate about making things happen—whether on the stage, in the wilderness, or in the community—and I believe that a little structure and a lot of heart can make even the toughest challenges more manageable.
