Creative Direction & Mentorship

While serving as Senior Designer at Age of Learning, I was directly responsible for reviewing and critiquing the creative output of other designers. I also helped guide the creative brainstorming sessions for our marketing campaigns.

I’ve provided new hire onboarding, mentorship, and direction for creative teams, instructed them on workflow standards and brand aesthetics, and reviewed designers’ work and provided criticism and feedback. I’ve worked directly with executives and stakeholders to review and revise designs for high-level marketing campaigns and new product launches. I’ve managed a team of marketing creatives as the senior designer at two enterprise-level corporations. I regularly coordinated with merchandising departments to develop effective ad layouts.

I have provided team leadership, creative direction, and project management for creative teams throughout my years of experience. I’ve collaborated with colleagues, leadership, and stakeholders, to develop effective design strategies and solutions, and I’ve provided robust production support for many campaigns and projects.

When I was running my own freelance design business, I was the creative director and project manager for most of the projects we worked on. For many years I managed a wide variety of projects, often several at a time, in order to maintain a thriving business.
