project management
simplified
Welcome to Solution Garden!
Hi, I’m Shay de Silva, the founder of Solution Garden. I specialize in creating clear, streamlined processes that help projects run smoothly—without the stress and overwhelming tasks that often come with managing teams and complex work.
I’m passionate about simplifying, planning, and problem-solving. Whether I’m working with technical experts or business leaders, I love bridging gaps, aligning teams, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. Staying up to date on best practices is important to me—but I also believe that simplicity and practicality should always win. Not every “best practice” is right for every team, and that’s okay.
Certifications:
- Project Management Professional (PMP)
- Agile (PMI-ACP)
- Certified SAFe Program Consultant
- Certified Scrum Master (CSM)
- ITIL v4 Foundation
I live in Washington, DC with my husband and love to travel, read, and spend time outdoors. I’m always learning something new—most recently, I earned my open water SCUBA certification in Thailand!

I respect your time
Time is one of our most valuable resources. I respect yours by simplifying processes, prioritizing what matters most, and keeping things moving forward efficiently.
I Speak Honestly
Trust starts with transparency. I’m upfront and direct in every interaction—and I help clients do the same in their work. This honesty leads to stronger relationships, faster progress, and better outcomes.
I Deliver Thoughtfully
You’re trusting me with your highest goals, and I don’t take that lightly. I bring my full attention and best effort to every project, delivering thoughtful, high-quality work you can rely on.
I Care About Your Experience
I want every client to walk away feeling clear, calm, and confident — not buried in checklists or jargon. Whether we’re planning a project or streamlining a process, I’m here to help you focus on what matters and feel good about how you’re moving forward.
