After 20+ years in design and art direction, I've come to realize that the most meaningful part of my work isn't the projects themselves—it's the people I get to work with and support. My path has shifted over time, from a focus on design to a deeper commitment to helping others grow and succeed. In 2024, the company launched an AI training initiative, and after going through it myself, I began coaching others through the program. More than 350 creatives went through the training and successfully added AI skills to their workflows. Recently, I was promoted to Associate Creative Director. This role allows me to maintain focus on the things that matter most to me—people, growth, and creativity—and feels like a natural progression of everything I've learned so far. My work has shown me that if we don't put people first, we miss the bigger picture. At the end of the day, it's all about helping each other succeed and creating something meaningful together.
