Design leadership
Leadership through clarity, systems, and execution.
I’ve spent 9+ years in management and team leadership. My approach is hands-on: clarify the work, align the people responsible for it, and stay involved through delivery.
9+
Years / management + team leadership
Across art direction, design-lead, client-leadership, and management responsibilities, I have spent 9+ years guiding teams, reviewing work, setting creative direction, aligning stakeholders, and keeping delivery moving.
Leadership responsibilities
Direction, critique, and delivery—close to the work.
In practice, that has meant leading creative teams, running design reviews, aligning cross-functional partners, and keeping priorities and quality in view across concurrent work.
Set creative direction
At FCI Promos, led design and creative teams, guiding visual and digital direction across concurrent client work.
Lead design reviews
At Gaslight Media, led usability reviews and design critiques, then turned feedback into experience improvements and final UI.
Align stakeholders and engineering
At Seneca Resources, led design workstreams and aligned developers, analysts, QA, project managers, and stakeholders from concept through release.
Guide priorities and delivery
Managed priorities and delivery across team and client work while maintaining quality against scope and deadlines.
Stay close to the work
Across management, art direction, and product leadership roles, paired team guidance with hands-on design reviews and implementation decisions.
Hands-on leadership
Direction and delivery belong together.
My experience includes art direction, team management, design reviews, client leadership, stakeholder presentations, prioritization, and cross-functional delivery. I facilitate decisions, give useful feedback, and remain close enough to the work to protect experience quality through implementation.
