At Digitally Next, I lead a three-designer team across client brands while staying hands-on with UI/UX and brand work. I built the team’s operating system, including intake standards, delivery baselines, and a self-QA checklist, bringing major-revision rounds under 10% and on-time delivery above 95%.

I also created a six-brand governance reference and a searchable resource portal with Apps Script intake forms. At Digitally Next, I designed and shipped sanjivaniedge.com, bringing eight service domains and five industry verticals into one information architecture.

At Outwork Media Ltd., I directed brand identity, packaging, UI/UX, and campaign projects, and designed, developed, and launched the Aer Lingus College Football Classic app for iOS and Android. I also managed and mentored a remote team of designers and editors.

Earlier, as an independent creative designer, I delivered brand identities, websites, landing pages, social kits, and decks for clients. My work spans brand systems, product design, and the processes that help teams deliver consistently.
