I’ve been privileged to work on a wide variety of Microsoft projects that lead the world toward to new technologies, platforms and methodologies. I am actively looking for the next step in my career to utilize my varied experience, visionary ideas and the rational approach I have to fast paced intelligent atmospheres.
As a creative I delivered a broad range of high-quality front facing design and business solutions including web, product and demo UE/UI, print collateral, PowerPoint builds, Visio, HTML email, and brand management.
As a Art Director and People Manager I evangelized and guided international stakeholders towards unified brand and quality content systems across 90+ countries for Microsoft.com international. My diplomatic management approach provided prescriptive direction to global agencies and marketing teams that mitigated risk while being constructive, positive and efficient. I mentor designers towards their best work in an iterative world, coaching their careers in directions they aspire.
I consistently deliver on time and excel at navigating large organizations with many moving parts and stakeholders. When faced with the difficulty of scope-creep, exceeding budget or evaluating extra spend I tackle the challenge with data driven insights, direct communication and a team approach to solutions.
I am entrepreneurial and having been self-employed while my kids were young allowed me a wide variety of projects! I dependably provide fast turnaround, utilize specifications to provide correct deliverables, produce events whose attendees found value and I work seamlessly in office spaces or across digital space.
