Worked within the in-house creative agency Bluehouse to serve the communication needs of Chevron employees. I worked on a variety of campaigns from concept to completion including the launch of their first VP led “talk show” and 360 campaign for the Women’s Employee Network’s 2023 National Summit for International Women’s Day. I was highlighted as bringing “a new level of creative prowess to the team, backed by exceptional creative reasoning. Every project [I] touched, since day one, has been both effective and memorable.”

Worked within a client engagement team to oversee art direction for four client accounts. Collaborated closely with the Creative Director to concept visual ideas and facilitate the visual execution with the design studio. Responsibilities included understanding the client’s full brand, ensuring its consistent application on each project, and assisting the design/video team with production through feedback and working sessions. I also campaigned for the company-wide adoption of the Figma platform as a remote working tool and created educational content for employees to reference in addition to their onboarding materials.

Softway | 2015 — 2021 (6.5 years)

Originally hired to produce graphic design content for Softway's largest client, I was chosen to move from the TX headquarters to New Jersey and become the client's only onsite representative from Softway because of my diverse skill-set, our team’s outstanding work, and intimate relationship with the client's brand. I help to manage the account, produce design content, websites, videos, and motion graphics - both individually, and as a team member - for groups and campaigns within the organization that have a global impact.

In addition to client accounts, I help oversee the expanding multimedia team, as well as offer SME guidance on motion design across all of the creative fields at Softway. Other duties include:

— Delegating and coordinating roles and tasks on motion projects, and assisting with estimating and road mapping new project plans
— Managing deadlines and expectations, briefs, storyboarding/style framing, asset creation, exporting for development and animation support
— Working closely with the Visual Art directors and team during the pre-production phase to ensure the fluid melding of content and style is represented in the storyboards and assets. I also oversee the transition and handoff between project phases to clearly communicate the project needs and maintain consistency
— I oversee the building out of our department's Center of Excellence standards for Motion design and craft assets and templates for designers, animators, and development. I work to empower the team to explore a diverse range of motion design software, plug-ins, techniques, and approaches to keep workflow efficient and fresh.
