Creative Campaigns – As an expert visual storyteller, I pride myself on coming up with the big idea and providing avenues for the team to expand and execute on that idea. This approach to visual problem solving gives designers the creative leeway to add their talents to the project and keep it moving to its intended conclusion. Visual Strategies – I tailored our campaigns directly to our audience, based on focus group data, research and development. Using appropriate design and navigation, we engaged our demographic for each show and brand launch across multiple broadcast and social/digital platforms. Budget Optimization - I have a specific knack for building great in-house teams keeping the creative under the company roof. Having worked on both the agency and studio sides, I’m able to streamline the process by outlining specifically what our needs are. This enables us to control the spending, eliminate unnecessary work, and saves the company the expense of outside vendors. Leadership – There is always a visual puzzle to solve. We work to arrange the pieces to tell the best story possible for that brand, show, pitch or product. Through style frames, storyboards and mood boards, I come up with that first spark of creativity and manage each project through final delivery. Show less
