I joined Clipwire as it was a growing Studio and had the opportunity to help curate and shape the Art Department for Clipwire. Within this role I had the opportunity to hire new artists, train and work with two Art leads on their respective
projects, and help optimize our technical pipelines. I was also tapped for my previous Marketing experienced and asked to manage our Marketing Manager and her Artist. Within this role I was able to work more closely with Braze pipelines,
helped guide our Marketing team towards their first App Launch, and worked on strategies to help improve social engage-
ment. A day at Clipwire meant wearing many different hats, jumping between projects and disciplines to help move
forward conversations on feature developement, proper planning and strategy, and technical integration.

It was a pleasure seeing not only the Art Quality improve on the projects, but seeing people become happier on the projects, more creative, and engaged, was very rewarding. I was also proud to see our successful integration of Braze within our Marketing team, and a noticable improvement in Social Engagement.

Art Director  Art

March 2017 - March 2021
As the VP of Creative and Marketing, I had the opportunity to manage two diverse teams on a wide range of projects and skillsets. On the Creative front we produced high quality videos promotions, designed and integrated crucial learning
paths in our products, adapted dense cyber subjects into digestible gamified experiences, and perform rapid prototypes to match customer requirements. On the marketing side I helped to coordinate our digital demand gen strategy, persona
research and development, Event strategy and implementation, Public Relations, and Channel Marketing programs. In

this role I had the opportunity to work in many differentdi  areas, some days I would be a copywriter, other days I would be
designing UX flows, or simply working to help balance the departmental budget.

What I'm most proud of is having curated and grown two phenomenal teams of highly disciplined and cross departmental
professionals. I got to apply my background in game development and design, to both designing a cyber learning experi-
ence as well as being at the forefront of that messaging. With our products being used to help teach anyone from students to nation state officials, our team often had to be flexible and creative to meet our customer needs.

Projects include: Project Ares, NexAgent, RegExile, and several unreleased prototypes.

VP of Creative and Marketing, I

I worked as a Lead Artist at Ludia, managing several projects and teams during my 8 years there. I managed diverse
teams on franchises such as Kung Fu Panda, Jurassic Park, and How to Train your Dragon. My teams often included UX

Artists, 2D Illustrators, 3D art and animation, motion design, and additional outsourced artists. I oversaw creative direction,
integration of feedback from the publisher, project planning and execution, and managed outsourcer deliveries and feedback. With my background in 3D animation, I was often leveraged to help identify pipeline and technical issues.

I'm most proud of my work on Kung Fu Panda during this time, I had the opportunity to work with Dreamworks on coordi-coordi
nating 700 unique illustrations for their universe. I lead a diverse team of enthusiastic artists, and we created some really
fantastic content. I was also with Ludia for 8 years, and really consider it my first entry into the production environment.

Project Include: Kung Fu Panda: Battle of Destiny, Jurassic World: The Game, Dragons: Rise of Berk, Jurassic Park
Builder, Buzzr Casino Slots, Mr. Peabody and Sherman, Who wants to be a Millionaire & Friends, Weakest Link &
Friends, Family Fortunes & Friends, The Price is Right: Decades, The Bachelor and Bachelorette game on the DS, and Waldo 2.
