I believe in giving direct reports all of the tools to let them work at their best capacity. I often say, I'm the one working for them! 

When I had a worker struggling to understand the concepts that underpinned our art style, I gave them space to work it out themselves, made a safe environment for them to share their struggles, and gave them support in the form of notes, one-on-one demonstrations, and a reference library.

It's crucial to meet people where they are without judgement, and to know them well enough to provide education in the ways they best learn. Finding those paths forward is a creative act in itself.

Collaboration is a highlight for me. Stuck on a hurdle? Ask others how they would solve it. Looking to broaden my expertise? Ask the pros what resources they recommend. Believing in my team's intelligence and abilities and recognizing their unique backgrounds means we can strong, diverse thought together.

This was crucial when working with the Engineering team for developing our video game. They had constraints my team needed to work within, and we had goals we wanted them to strive for. Through collaboration we were able to create effective workflows for both of our teams and produce a beautiful game experience.

High level organization wasn't always a skill I possessed. Early in my Art Directing days I struggled to keep the big picture for our projects in view. I had to make a change.

I researched alternative methods for prioritizing tasks and worked with a variety of tools to track my team's progress. 

Today I feel confident in my ability to keep important details within reach and timelines in check. As a result, this improves my decision quality and ability to work with ambiguous problems and projects.

Sometimes an uncommon situation arises that needs an uncommon solution. In those moments.
