Manager - For the past 15 years I've found myself in a lead or senior position. I'm normally located in the center between, the artists, the engineers, the managers and the producers or directors. In this role I had to become a skilled diplomat, negotiator, interpreter and mentor. I've hired entire teams of artists and also had to manage through tougher times of layoffs and cancelled projects. As a manager my goal has always been to create a good working environment, with clear goals and achievable workloads.
