Project Management
Project Management Experience
Below is a list of projects I was hired to manage. As a project manager, I negotiated contracts, created budgets and production timelines. Also, I was a liaison between the IT team, creative team, and project owners. And on completion of a project, I led the presentation to the client.

Once the website was completed, ThermoGreen hired me as a project manager to form a team of artists and illustrators with the capability of creating promotional print material for their first product launch.
