As the leader of Burton’s North American design and project management team, I drive the creation of marketing materials, ensuring efficient project execution. Collaborating with cross-functional teams, I employ agile methodologies to guide projects from concept to launch across digital channels, visual merchandising, print, and video. My emphasis on creative agility and clear communication fosters team collaboration and productivity.
