In addition I also worked with a team on all of our web developments from wire frame, to graphics creation, programming and implementation on the many websites we managed and produced. These websites are very highly involved and require creative solutions to provide the end user with the best overall experience. I worked directly with editing and graphics to manage their schedules and assist in the creative development of programs. When needed I would edit programs when we would have an overlap of projects as well as assist in providing rough cuts of sequences to send to the senior editor.For our live meetings, I would work with all of the various vendors to put together a multimedia educational experience that traveled across the country. Not only was I helping to manage the vendors but the event itself from working with the content providers, to our in house graphics development and implementation into the printed materials and video presentations.
