Team lead for a creative services studio managing branded environment projects with national clients, from estimating projects, through material production, distribution and installation. As our website describes, we create some crazy-cool engagements, and I've had a great time coming up with new visualizations. My favorite client for grand format imagery over the last few years is The Memorial Tournament 14th hole grandstands, where we create huge marketing wall "hides" using Workday's brand of colors and golfer endorsements, as well as an Instagram moment greenery wall with Jack's signature emblazoned across.From customer care and requests, through shipping and installation, I and my project management team watch the process of prepress and fabrication unfold, and help keep the production team moving forward to make some amazing visual engagements,The PM team is tasked with building out quotes and project estimates, and I act as the lead estimator for large scope branded environment opportunities, and collaborate with our design teams and the ops director to help flesh out the more challenging designs.It's a constantly moving, always changing weekly work environment, and I help my team maintain our best practices in communication between departments, and easy to read workflows for accurate, beautiful creative products.
