I'm a passionate Creative Manager who has been designing for 7+ years. I've been leading teams for 2+ years. Although I love being creative, I'm a predominately analytical person. With that combination, I found a deep passion for Brands and Marketing.
When I'm not working you can find me reading, painting, snowboarding, camping, playing video games, rolling dice in Dungeons & Dragons, playing trombone in the marching band, or a myriad of other hobbies as I have an insatiable curiosity to keep trying new things.
Agile Familiarity
Design works better on a system. While leading a team of 4 graphic designers, I was faced with a common problem. How can we get more done in less time?
I took a few classes on agile workflows, and reworked our scattered, and often lost projects, and compiled them into a single board. With feedback from the team and stakeholders, we were able to capture accurate analytics, minimize lost projects, and halve the timeline for deliverables.
Leadership
To create impactful creative work, I prioritize understanding and connecting with my team. I take mental health seriously and listen when problems are brought up as I've found we can do more, better, when we are taken care of. This encourages each team member to hone their unique strengths for exceptional solutions for the whole.
Process
I work best in iterative launch environments that can continue gaining information about what is and is not working to continue refining campaigns, projects, and systems. I prefer to show drafts early and often, so we never lose much time pursuing something that isn't working.
If that sounds like a match with what you're looking for, then let's connect!
Thank you!
