• Lead teams of 2-4 designers to produce production-ready design work with strict time constraints, deadlines, and budget
• Run internal design team events and meetings to help build the team's skillsets outside of the normal day-to-day client work

Following the acquisition of Intrepid, I lead a small group in jump-starting a new office in Houston, Texas. In addition to my role and responsibilities as a designer, I began focusing on mentorship, design talent sourcing, and team leadership. We grew our local design team from 2 to ~10 during this time.
• My role within the design team at Intrepid became more and more focused on being the sole contributor, and leading the design decisions on projects. I provided counsel to clients frequently, and helped them push the boundaries of their user interfaces, as well as their user experiences.
