Creative Director for HCL's Digital and Analytics Design Studio in Frisco, Texas.As a Creative Director at HCL Digital and Analytics, I was responsible for 7(+adding more) direct reports within our Studio User Experience practice. I was also staffed as lead on 2-3 client engagements at a time to act as someone with a unique perspective for the project team. My role was to provide seasoned experience/foresight into best practices. I’d also spend much of my time advocating for and educating on the benefits of UX and research, considering the overall strategy, providing distance from the work, holding the team accountable, and offering continuity of vision throughout the multiple phases of an engagement. In addition, I got the opportunity to assist in business development introductions, and also jump into design delivery if the team becomes overcommitted.
