Feb 2015 - Present • 11 yrs 3 mos

As Creative Director and Print Production Manager at Creative Games, I lead the end-to-end execution of design and production for upscale, high-end events. My role encompasses overseeing the full creative lifecycle, from initial concept development and visual design to fabrication, print production, and final installation. I am responsible for ensuring that every element meets the highest standards of quality and cohesiveness, including large-scale showcase displays, fully customized game environments, branded installations, and immersive photo opportunities. This requires a seamless integration of design precision, material selection, and production logistics to deliver visually impactful and structurally sound results. Working closely with internal teams, vendors, and event planners, I manage timelines, production workflows, and quality control to ensure each project is executed flawlessly. My focus is not only on aesthetic excellence, but also on creating engaging, memorable experiences that elevate the overall event environment.
