Creative Leadership & Team Development

​I believe strong creative work begins with empowered teams. As a leader in game development and multimedia production, I bring a people-first mindset to managing artists, developers, and cross-functional teams. I foster collaborative environments where creativity thrives, and where structure supports innovation — not stifles it.

My Focus

  • People and process
  • Cross-functional collaboration
  • Production pipelines and delivery
  • Mentorship, morale, scheduling, problem-solving

​MY LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY

Creative Vision with Accountability 
  • I align teams around shared creative goals while keeping schedules, deliverables, and budgets on track.
Empathy-Driven Management
  • I prioritize mentorship, work-life balance, and psychological safety — especially in fast-paced production environments
​Process-Oriented but Flexible
  • I implement clear workflows using JIRA, Flow, and Confluence, but stay adaptive to change and team feedback.
Growth & Mentorship
  • From junior artists to mid-level producers, I’ve supported career development through coaching, workshops, and performance feedback.
Cross-Team Collaboration
  • ​I’m fluent in translating between disciplines — from art and animation to engineering and publishing — ensuring no voice is left out of decision-making.

​Leadership in Action

Hogwarts Legacy – Cross-Team Delivery
I led milestone tracking and collaboration across the art and audio departments, aligning with both internal developers and external publishing teams. I coordinated cross-functional deliverables (art book, game guide, soundtrack) on tight schedules while managing legal approvals and licensor reviews. Our efforts launched globally without delay.

Call of Duty: Cold War – Vendor Leadership
As Art Production Coordinator, I managed a large-scale outsourcing pipeline, onboarding vendors, and establishing clear quality benchmarks. Through consistent feedback and structured reviews, we reduced revision cycles by 20% and hit delivery milestones on schedule.

Elite Animation Academy – Creative Mentorship
I taught and mentored young artists (ages 8 to adult) in animation and design fundamentals. I helped many individuals transition from hobbyists to emerging professionals by creating lesson plans that focused on industry-relevant skills and providing project critiques.
