my role at Jam City
Currently, I work as a Creative Services Art Manager at Jam City within the UA Performance Marketing team.
Day to day I review work from team members and vendors, I brainstorm, storyboard, and work on new concepts for our titles, I execute videos and I manage a team of artists.
I started as a Motion Graphics Designer, moved up to Sr., in which I was primarily executing videos, but with my current title, I have a big role in driving UA Marketing direction for the titles I am attached to such as Jurassic World Alive and previously Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery.
On top of that, I have served as a videographer to film and edit such things as interviews, promos, behind the scenes and events as needed for the company.
My workflow regularly uses:
After Effects, Media Encoder, Photoshop, Premiere, Animation Composer, Red Giant Trapcode Particular, Saber, Element, Illustrator, Wrike, Dropbox, Slack, Audition, Hockey App, DSLR Cameras, Lighting, Audio Capture, all on Mac computers.
