Design Manager
Leading a Global Presentation Design Team in a High-Pressure Financial Environment
I lead a team of designers, specialists, and project coordinators in a global investment banking environment, overseeing quality, mentoring creatives, and implementing workflow improvements to deliver high-volume, deadline-driven client presentations.
Many of the projects I lead are confidential and cannot be shown publicly. This portfolio features public work and representative case studies that capture my experience and capabilities.
The Situation
At HL, the presentations team supports bankers with highly confidential materials used in mergers and acquisitions, fundraising, and strategic communications. The work moves quickly, changes often, and requires polished client-ready execution.
My Role
As Design Manager, I lead designers and specialists, manage intake and assignment with a Project Coordinator, set quality standards, mentor team members, improve workflows, and help remove blockers across regions.
The Challenge
The team balances high request volume, competing priorities, varying designer experience levels, cross-shift communication gaps, and the need to maintain morale while meeting constant deadlines.
My Approach
I focus on creative leadership, creative coaching, structured quality control, workflow optimization, and team development so designers feel supported while remaining accountable for strong work.
Key Initiatives
Project Coordinator training, quality calibration, workflow enhancements, and cross-shift alignment help improve queue visibility, communication, consistency, and operational confidence.
Results
Representative outcomes include more consistent deliverables, stronger confidence among team members, improved upward feedback, better shift alignment, and stable performance in a demanding environment.
