As a Project Management Supervisor, I oversaw the full range of client deliverables for my assigned brands from project planning to final delivery with regard to timing, quality, and budget. I partnered cross-functionally with Account and Finance to preserve good financial health of projects. I also supervised junior team members, and learns how to evaluate work, give constructive feedback, and delegate, as well as insured adherence to department and agency-level policy, process, and procedures.

At VaynerMedia, I managed multiple projects and accounts in all stages of creative production. From new business creative pitches, creative development, pre-production, shoot, and post production. I worked on a number of accounts in my first 4 month stint there: UNTUCKit Shirts, Nobilis Health, Snapchat, MicroStrategy, Coach, and Budweiser. I also got to drop a 500 pound crate of beer out of the back of a C130 and got 16m views on Facebook.

I was Lead Producer on the Qualcomm account starting early 2015. I produced “The #WhyWait Invent-Off” a web series where we cast two teams of inventors and challenged them to make something amazing using Qualcomm technology. We handpicked two teams composed of an engineer, an artist, a college student, and a high school student. We gave them 6 days to design and execute. For Season 1, we achieved 18+ million Impressions over multiple networks, and 9+ million video views. Qualcomm was so… Show more I was Lead Producer on the Qualcomm account starting early 2015.

In 2010, Humble created ESPYS award show package for the 3rd year, and I was project lead and post supervisor. •The budget was almost non-existent, so I recruited some amazing interns from SVA, Parsons, and RIT. We organized a team, lacking professional experience, but with tons of raw talent. •Among the deliverables was 40 enhanced reality clips, which involved rotoscoping dozens of athletes from game footage and placing them in 3d environments. •The client loved our… Show more In 2010, Humble created ESPYS award show package for the 3rd year, and I was project lead and post supervisor. •The budget was almost non-existent, so I recruited some amazing interns from SVA, Parsons, and RIT. We organized a team, lacking professional experience, but with tons of raw talent. •Among the deliverables was 40 enhanced reality clips, which involved rotoscoping dozens of athletes from game footage and placing them in 3d environments. •The client loved our work, and we were turning out finished clips faster than they could get the raw footage to us. •None do the interns stayed later than 6pm, or worked more than 3 days a week. In 2011, The ESPYS returned with a major redesign, and a bigger. •I worked 500+ hours in 5 weeks leading the 3d environment team of five Maya artists. •As post supervisor, I tracked the progress on the 40+ spots to be built, animated, lit, rendered, composited, and delivered. •We did an amazing job that both met with the high demands set by Humble’s Creative Director, but within the hard deadline of ESPN’s live broadcast date.From 2010-2013, Humble worked with a pharma agency on a dozen videos for a drug called SAMSCA, with yearly updates for FDA review. I was the producer and designer on the account, managing cost of labor and a calendar for revisions and deliverables. I’ve built a great relationship with the agency’s Creative and Account team.In 2013, I was the project lead and designer on a series of 8 commercials for Simply Saline. Time and cost were a serious factor as every shot contained a screen that needed animated content created, tracked, and composited into it, as well as 2 demo sections with mists and fluids. I came up with a 2d solution for the demos that saved 10 days that would have been spent on r&d and lighting had we gone with a 3d simulation. The agency was very pleased, and we're looking forward to the 2014 campaign. Show less

It was featured in movie theaters across the USA.• After 6 years of listening to client notes, The Saline Project was burnt out. We dreamed up “Project K,” a surreal variety show, as a way to free up our creativity. We wrote skits, designed makeup and costumes, even acted. Everything was conceived and executed in-house, creating 17 shorts in all. We had a cult following on the early days of YouTube.• In 2007, based on our work on Project K, Mtv2 hired us to create interstials that I had pitched. We created 2 hilarious shorts about a man with giant hands on his first day as an office temp, and the disasterous results. I played Mr. Bighands, I also composited both spots and created the “giant hand” visual effects.• In 2007, we made a commercial for Dunkin Donuts featuring a dragon, our first major 3d animation project. I led a team of 3 Maya artists to create the dragon. In just 2 weeks, we were able to finish the :30 spot featuring this fully articulated dragon with wings who breathed fire. Show less
