Originally from Montreal, I worked for 15+ years in print advertising, working closely with print media on an international level, parallel to freelancing as a self-taught Graphic Designer. Upon moving to Toronto in 2008, I started my boutique graphic design studio working extensively in branding and print design with clients big and small, ranging from large corporations to other local artists. My combined design experience with my years of running an ad agency, has allowed me to also seamlessly take on the role of project manager with many of my trusted clients.
In addition to my experience in advertising which has equipped me with valuable project management skills, over the years as a Freelance Designer, I have often been asked by clients to step in as a Project Manager. I’ve been responsible for:
- Managing a small team of 2-5 people
- Planning, streamlining and defining the scope of the project; developing schedules and ensuring deliverables are reached
- Providing cost and time estimates
- Providing progress reports
- Funneling information and relaying between the client team and the creative team
