Ash Ahonen-Critchley

I’m an art outsourcing and game production leader with an Anthropology background and hands-on experience managing cross-functional teams, external vendors, and client delivery. I focus on clear direction, strong documentation, and reliable project communication.

As an Art Outsourcing Supervisor, I ensured internal and external teams had correct project status and timelines. I worked with internal art teams to estimate project scope and define deliverables, then partnered across disciplines to confirm outsourced assets met art brief quality and schedule requirements.

Earlier, I worked as an Associate Producer managing development partner relationships and overseeing projects across the development cycle—from pre-production through certification testing and publishing. I monitored project health through stand ups, reports, and database management, and supported teams spanning design, engineering, QA, and business development.

I also bring QA and research-driven project management experience: I performed exploratory, functional, system, reliability, certification, and regression testing, and I led digitization work using surface scanning while maintaining a database of 3D models. I thrive on aligning stakeholders, keeping pipelines healthy, and delivering on both timelines and quality.
