Creative Direction | Design
I am a creative that cares about the quality of work I produce. Inspiration comes from everywhere and I see the potential in everything. This maintains the brand while achieving campaign and customer journey goals.
Over my years, new tools were released recently so I’m taking the initiative to learn more because the demand is there. My roles did not need XD nor Animate but I want to add them to my arsenal. I just started learning those tools; both will be easy since they fall under the creative umbrella. As for Blender, there is a lotttttttttt to learn. No 100% here because there is always something to learn.Â
A team member wants to feel valued and I enjoy team building. It is crucial to company success and customer satisfaction. Great work comes from creatives who feel like their voice is heard and opinion matters. Give credit where it is due and let them be recognized. This creates a healthy and non-toxic team that wants to be their best.
I have an idea!

SOFT SKILLS
Creative
Think outside the box with big and small ideas ready for execution. I enjoy TV, movies, and commercials. Yes, I said commercials.
Leader
Always encouragement, never disappointment. Empower the team to feel valued. Provide constructive feedback so they may grow.
Organized
Whether it is for self or department, files are easily found and filed accordingly. You can see my desktop background image.
Analytical
It is a gift. I can analyze any process and optimize it if it isn’t optimized already. This can also be for anything outside my umbrella.
Problem solver
This is in conjunction with my analytical skills. If there is a problem, I can solve it. Impossible deadlines have no defense against me.
Sense of Urgency
This is deadline driven and user centric. No procrastination here. Get it done so others can do their part to meet deadlines.
Management
Managing projects do not need to be challenging. Monitor deadlines and know your team member’s skills and speed to execute deliverables.
Storytelling
Storytelling is a great way to connect with customers. They want to feel like they are purchasing a quality product or service. Visuals do that well.
Detail Oriented
Ensure accuracy of all work before presentation or production (grammar, colors, files, measurements, etc.) for flawless deliverables.
Passionate
I care about the quality of work I produce. I want the best for me, the company, and the customer. If the customer is happy then I succeeded.
Communication
Mistakes happen or you get behind. That’s ok. Communicate the problem so we can help. Can’t find a solution if we don’t know a problem exists.
Team Player
Have a can-do attitude. If you have downtime, ask a teammate if they want help. We are in this together. The “not my job” mentality has no place here.
