Crafting success: My journey as Lead Designer
Over the past two years at BMI Globaled, I’ve had the privilege of serving as the Lead Visual Designer, spearheading a team of four talented Graphic Designers. Our journey has been one of continuous growth, collaboration, and excellence.
From day one, my focus has been on building a team that not only excels individually but also thrives collectively. I firmly believe that the key to success lies in empowering each team member to reach their full potential. To achieve this, I’ve placed a strong emphasis on guiding my team in making strategic design decisions. Whether it’s brainstorming creative concepts or refining visual elements, we approach each project with a clear vision and purpose.
One of the cornerstones of our workflow has been our meticulous project management system, anchored by Trello. With Trello, we’ve been able to effectively manage and assign tasks, ensuring that deadlines are met and projects progress smoothly. This level of organization has been instrumental in maintaining our team’s productivity and momentum.
In tandem with our project management efforts, we’ve also invested significant time and resources into building a comprehensive design system on Figma. This system serves as the blueprint for our design process, providing consistency, scalability, and efficiency across all projects. By establishing clear guidelines and standards, we’ve been able to streamline our workflow and elevate the quality of our work.
Of course, none of this would be possible without a steadfast commitment to maintaining brand guidelines. As custodians of the BMI Globaled brand, it’s imperative that we uphold its identity and integrity in everything we create. From color palettes to typography, we ensure that every design element reflects our brand’s values and resonates with our audience.
But perhaps the most rewarding aspect of my role has been fostering a collaborative environment where ideas flourish and creativity thrives. Through regular design reviews and one-on-one meetings, I’ve provided constructive feedback and mentorship to each team member. This hands-on approach has not only improved the quality of our designs but also nurtured a culture of continuous learning and growth.
As a result of these efforts, our team has achieved remarkable success over the past two years. Our designs are not only visually striking but also strategically impactful, capturing the attention of our audience and driving engagement. Our efficiency has soared, thanks to our streamlined workflow and cohesive teamwork.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to continue leading and empowering my team at BMI Globaled. Together, we will build upon our successes, push the boundaries of creativity, and leave a lasting impact in the world of graphic design.
