SUMMARY
During my time at Jack Morton Worldwide, I was the Creative Services Project Manager for a variety of experiential activations, trade shows, and retail design projects. Working alongside my brilliant manager Darin Holt, we were a mighty two-person team that led and supervised all creative resourcing needs across all of Jack Morton’s North American offices including NYC, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, New Jersey, and Detroit for active projects and new business proposals, which added up to roughly 20 to 50 projects at a time. I eventually led the department on my own for nearly a year.
One of the main projects I worked on was the Reebok 50x50 Exhibit Space at ComplexCon 2018. This trade show exhibit space paid homage to the brand’s 90s heritage and Reebok’s history of defying convention in an incredibly modern way. Read more about the project here.
