SUMMARY
In my profession I step up to any task sent my way. I can easily decipher the quickest and easiest way to alleviate a problem. I am self-motivated and work well in teams. I always satisfy deadlines. Often my supervisor brings the most difficult, time-essential tasks to me. My experiences, determination, ability to quickly learn new information, and hard work ethics set me apart from other employees. As discipline lead designer I manage and organize workload so that deadlines are met and/or surpassed. I manage the design team to insure work is being completed in accordance with company and industry standards.
