Creative production manager at LateGame Studio who delivered 500+ creative assets for Berserk Heroes Online.
SerbiaWhat I'm looking for
At LateGame Studio, I coordinated delivery across art, game design, development, and QA, tracking dependencies, blockers, and schedule risks. As Art Manager, I led two art-production streams for a 15-person team, achieving 100% on-time delivery on both.
On Berserk Heroes Online, I produced 500+ creative deliverables in 18 months, including 150 within three months alongside the live release schedule. I also built capacity-planning and tracking systems for high-volume production.
At Nuare Studio, I managed up to five concurrent creative productions and worked with clients including Blizzard, EA, and Crystal Dynamics. I improved productivity by approximately 20% across three major projects and reduced revision cycles by approximately 30% through workflow and quality-control improvements.
My work has included managing concept-art production for three Diablo IV seasons and coordinating creative teams and deliverables for Tomb Raider: Catalyst and Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. I’m looking to bring my production experience to dynamic, international creative teams and brands.
