- Conceived and designed web projects as the principal web/interactive designer.
- Spearheaded all client brand development and campaigns.
- Executed outside clients’ marketing and corporate identity strategies, as well as reinforcing our own in-house brand.
- Managed and coordinated all design projects (web, print, photography and video) with independent design and production contractors.
- Met with potential and existing clients; fostered trust and confidence to secure projects and maintain business relationships.
- Developed all project quotes for clients, based upon project specifications.
- Presented design comprehensives (art-boards and digital) to clients in an informative and engaging manner.
- Headed all agency-developed video and animation production.
