• Conduct regular one-on-one meetings with the design team members, providing mentorship, performance feedback, and fostering professional growth.
• Utilize project management tools like ClickUp to monitor project progress, track tasks, and ensure timely completion of design-related activities.
• Attend client meetings to understand their brand objectives, requirements, and expectations, and incorporate them into the design process.
• Participate in discovery and exploration meetings to understand project scope, user needs, and design challenges.
• Collaborate with the team to develop accurate estimates for design projects, considering timelines, resources, and complexity.
• Prioritize client projects, ensuring that our efforts align with their needs and expectations, while also contributing to the evolution of our own brand identity.
