In my creative leadership roles at the University of South Carolina, I have recruited, trained, and supervised dozens of student designers and graduate students. Also, as a manager I have hired and supervised professional staff and have been responsible for payroll, purchases and budgets.

My personal mission as a creative team manager has been to take students' talent and what they have learned in the classroom and show them how to apply those skills to create communication materials that accomplish a client’s communications goals. To accomplish this, our creative teams would meet with clients, have group idea sessions and group critiques. They utilized communication tools like Trello, Asana or Slack to manage work and communicate with each other during production and approval process. 

I have also written training manuals for student designers, as well as, content management manuals for website and mobile app managers.
