## Meet Rubie Guardado: Our New Project Coordinator
We're excited to introduce Rubie Guardado, the newest member of our Tangram team. As our Project Coordinator, Rubie brings valuable experience from her previous role at ProSpectra Contract Flooring, where she honed her skills in the commercial flooring sector.
### Getting to Know Rubie
**From Pico Rivera to Whittier**, Rubie has made her home in Southern California, where she enjoys exploring the local hiking trails during her free time. When she's not coordinating projects or hitting the trails, she's preparing for one of life's most exciting adventures—becoming a grandmother. This milestone has been her standout memory from the past year, and it's clear that family plays a central role in her life.
### Work-Life Balance
Rubie understands the importance of staying connected in today's fast-paced commercial design world. Her essential apps—Amazon, ESPN, and Google—keep her organized, informed, and ready to tackle any project challenge. Like many of us in the industry, her phone is her constant companion for managing project communications and staying on top of deadlines.
**After a busy day coordinating projects**, Rubie unwinds with physical activity, whether that's a workout session or exploring new hiking trails. This active lifestyle reflects the energy and positive attitude she brings to her work.
### Professional Growth and Aspirations
Always looking to expand her skill set, Rubie is particularly interested in strengthening her technology knowledge—a valuable asset in our increasingly digital industry. Her curiosity about new tools and platforms will serve her well as commercial design continues to evolve with innovative project management solutions.
When asked about her dream scenario, Rubie shared she'd love to trade places with a professional athlete for a day, which speaks to her competitive spirit and drive for excellence—qualities that translate perfectly to successful project coordination.
### What's Next
Rubie is most excited about collaborating with her new teammates and contributing her signature positive energy to our projects. With her solid foundation in commercial flooring and her enthusiasm for learning, she's well-positioned to help our clients navigate their design challenges with confidence.
**Welcome to the team, Rubie!** We're looking forward to the fresh perspective and positive vibes you'll bring to our commercial design projects.
