Skills

I have provided art direction on a multitude of projects. I created art guides and provided constructive feedback to both 2d and 3d artists, ensuring the artistic vision was successfully realized. 

As an art manager at Product Madness, I managed 4-6 reports, either lead artists or people managers. I tracked individual performance, managed a healthy work-life balance and supported career growth. 

I supervised and art directed the production of characters, environments, and features on multiple projects, managing art teams to deliver high quality assets within tight deadlines.  

My focus is on building strong, frequent connections and trust. Partnerships that are open and mutually constructive without hierarchy. Through written feedback, chat services and video calls,  we can achieve growth and learn from each other.

Providing feedback to outsource companies can be challenging. I believe in providing detailed documentation and clear feedback. This includes draw-overs and hands on tweaks to 2d or 3d content.

As a hiring manager, I set up job advertisements, evaluated portfolios, ran art tests, conducted interviews and finally offered contracts. The resulting team was one of the more performant teams in our company, with a harmonious culture.
