      Leading a team Example

      I recently worked on a campaign that had multiple deliverables. We were tasked to produce marketing slicks, billboard signs and social cards with an aggressive deadline. I pulled two other designers into the project so that we could divide and conquer. I made sure everyone understood what the client needed and when it had to be completed. I routinely checked in with them to make sure they weren't running into any issues. I kept the lines of communication open so that our work was cohesive and consistent. As a team, we were able to meet the client's deadline.
