Hey there! I’m Tazeen, and my life is an exhilarating quest filled with experiences that spark wonder and curiosity. My mission? It’s simple – to sprinkle kindness, ignite smiles, and leave a trail of positivity wherever I tread. With empathy, relentless resilience, and a dash of elbow grease, I’m a firm believer that dreams are within reach.
In my professional voyage, I’m dedicated to empowering small businesses, refining processes, and infusing innovation into daily operations. Initially joining Perfumes Los Angeles as an Associate Project Manager, I collaborated closely with the CEO on visionary endeavors and orchestrated critical implementations. Currently, as the Special Projects Manager, I serve as the architect of dreams, crafting strategies to optimize operations and foster organic growth. Before this, at aKartel LLC, I led startups and small businesses through transformative process overhauls and seamless technological integrations. Perfumes Los Angeles holds a special place in my journey, marking the beginning of my professional endeavors.
My work centers on igniting the spark of innovation and creativity in others. By leading workshops infused with design thinking principles, I aim to create an environment where traditional boundaries are reimagined. This not only encourages a spirit of experimentation but also empowers individuals to explore their creative capabilities, fostering organizational evolution and positive change.
Recently, I took a leap of faith and relocated to Greenville, South Carolina—a city brimming with charm, opportunity, and Southern hospitality. While navigating this new landscape, I’m discovering the vibrant community and picturesque surroundings, finding inspiration in every corner.
Eight years ago, I embarked on a fun adventure by choosing to call Los Angeles home—a hub that pulsates with life, creativity, and endless opportunities. Amidst navigating the colorful mosaic of LA’s urban sprawl, I’ve indulged in my passions, from coding and devouring books to pedaling through sun-kissed trails and embracing the thrill of Improv Comedy. Dancing? Ah, it’s my secret potion for joy—a reminder that life is a dance waiting to be embraced with open arms.
Grounded in open-mindedness, creativity, empathy, and an abundance of optimism, driven by sharp wit — I approach life with intention and purposeful action. And connecting with fellow adventurers who share these values? It’s what adds richness and depth to every chapter of my story.
Whether you’re seeking to embark on new adventures or simply wish to send a friendly wave, I’m just an email away at taz@tazeenshaikh.com. Let’s make magic happen!
