About me
About me
Over the years, I have dedicated myself to relentless work and continuous skill development, all in the pursuit of delivering the highest value to the companies and individuals I've been fortunate to collaborate with. My focus is to empower and support others in uncovering their latent potential, fostering growth, and realizing their true selves. Let’s work together!
While I was the VP of Design at Church Media Squad, one of my key responsibilities was talent acquisition—identifying, attracting, and developing the right individuals to build a high-performing creative team. Leading a team of 13 designers, including two managers, I focused on hiring not just for skills, but for cultural fit, creative passion, and potential for growth.
By deeply understanding the needs of our projects and clients, I implemented a hiring strategy that focused on sourcing top talent with a diverse range of design specialties. I created a robust recruitment process that included portfolio reviews, technical assessments, and personality alignment to ensure we brought on designers who aligned with our creative vision and could thrive in a remote, fast-paced environment.
Through consistent mentorship and development opportunities, I helped cultivate an atmosphere where creativity flourished and innovation was encouraged. This approach didn’t just fill roles—it built a team of designers who were empowered, collaborative, and motivated to deliver exceptional work that consistently exceeded client expectations.
Through a combination of strategic planning and a keen eye for creative talent, I successfully expanded the design team, enabling us to meet growing demand without compromising on quality or brand consistency. Simultaneously, I identified and developed the strengths of my team members, propelling them into new roles. This not only created new opportunities for my direct reports but also inspired others, demonstrating my commitment to nurturing their growth and success as their leader.
