During my time at RECUR as VP of Art, I was part of the executive leadership team, responsible for the entire art/creative department. I had multiple Creative Directors as direct reports, oversaw 18+ creatives/artists of various levels, and established their responsibilities and salaries. I worked directly with other departments and disciplines to ensure smooth cross-communication.
In addition, I oversaw all the creation of NFTs and provided art direction support to key projects (Nickelodeon, Star Trek, Care Bears, and NFTU), managing external vendors and partnerships, and their associated art budgets.
I was the Production Designer for a Sci-Fi series pitch called “Fall” where I created key art for different moments to help set the tone/feel.
