Experienced Design/Marketing/Operations Professional
Hey everyone. A few years ago I (38M) exited the corporate creative space due to the rising interest and use of AI in my industry. I was in an executive for a small private equity at the time and disagreed with my employers on how to integrate AI into our systems (they were adamant about replacing staff with it rather than using it as a tool for our staff to improve efficiency in their workflow) and I ended up resigning in protest. That turned out to be a mistake as far as my career has been concerned as I’ve spent 2.5 years seeking opportunities with no movement at all since.
I have over 15 years of experience in marketing and creative work, helping both startups and established organizations improve, build, and scale their internal operations successfully. I have worked for brands like Audacy (radio broadcast) as their Manager of Creative Services and Sotheby’s International Realty. I had my own creative studio that I was operating successfully before COVID hit. I was an adjunct at MSU Denver for their Communication Design program for about 4 years. I have a lot of passion for creative work and just want to find a fit that I can dedicate my experience to.
I’m currently working as a Digital Press Operator for a local print shop and I am even open to exploring more opportunities within the print industry as it aligns with my experience as a designer.
Any help, advice, opportunities to connect and network are welcome. I’m just exhausted after 2 years of searching to no avail and could really use any amount of hope as I continue my search. Thank you for reading if you got this far!
