ABOUT
Welcome to Solution Garden!
Hi, I’m Shay de Silva, a project management consultant and founder of Solution Garden—a consultancy devoted to simplifying project management with clarity and calm. I specialize in creating thoughtful, streamlined systems that help leaders and teams stay aligned, reduce overwhelm, and actually enjoy the process of getting work done.
Whether I’m collaborating with technical teams or business stakeholders, I bridge gaps, reduce complexity, and bring a steady hand to even the most chaotic initiatives. I’m certified, well-versed in best practices—and deeply committed to keeping things as simple and human as possible.
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!

Why Clients Choose Solution Garden
I bring calm and clarity. Clients often tell me I create a sense of calm and help them feel more focused, even in the most chaotic situations.
I simplify the complex. I have a knack for turning complicated projects into smooth, streamlined processes tailored to your needs—not just “best practices.”
I work well with every kind of teammate. From high-performers to the more challenging personalities, I know how to connect and get things done.
I’m experienced with remote and hybrid teams. I’ve led distributed teams across time zones and I excel at keeping everyone aligned and engaged.
I resolve issues—fast. I focus on real progress, not endless discussions. Most problems see major improvement (or get fully solved) in less than an hour.
