Work Experience
Carrot Creative

Summer Intern 2010
I managed four people and integrated their work into a larger team of 16 designers. I led the on-boarding process for full-time hires to the design team, including recruiting, portfolio reviewing, and screening for culture match. I actively participated in the interviewing process. In addition, I provided mentoring to the entire team, including our summer interns.
I represented and led the design perspective over the course of creative and tech-driven projects.

Intern 2008 - 2010
I created assets and animations for casual flash games aimed at a youth audience. Select clients included Nickelodeon, Shockwave, Addicting Games, and Three Across, LLC. I worked on 5 out of the 32 games that were nominated for Nickelodeon's 2011 Game of the Year Award and was lead designer on the finalist, Winx's Dress Me Up. During my time, I also designed many internal projects including rebranding Workinman as a company and creating a stronger digital presence.
