Creative direction

Setting the creative vision for learning content and keeping every piece aligned with instructional goals, pedagogical standards and what stakeholders expect, from the first concept to the final delivery.

In the field

• Lead the creative direction of digital learning content at Tack TMI, since April 2026.
• Oversee video-based learning solutions across projects, guiding creative execution from concept through delivery.
• Partner with Digital Content Management and learning stakeholders on concept development, turning learning needs into creative solutions.
• As a freelance AI Creative Designer, direct videos and digital content: social reels, explainers, training experiences and branded assets.

Team leadership

Getting the best out of animators and creative contributors: clear direction at the start, structured feedback during production and quality oversight before anything is delivered.

In the field

• Lead and coordinate animators and creative contributors throughout the production process.
• Give direction and feedback at every stage, from first drafts to final review.
• Hold the quality bar across the team's output on multiple projects at once.
• Trained in leadership through Lead Yourself and Others (LYO) and Leading without Authority.

Workflow & creative operations

Designing the system behind the work. Workflows, templates and creative guidelines keep production consistent and efficient as the number of projects grows.

In the field

• Define and optimise production workflows, templates and creative guidelines across projects.
• Work with Project Management to structure workflows, define milestones and align resources.
• Run production on shared tools such as Monday.com, Float, Airtable, Canto and Miro.
• Turn what works on one project into a repeatable standard for the next.

AI-enabled production

Using AI where it removes friction in production (assets, voiceover, avatars, post-production) and helping teams and clients adopt it in their own workflows.

In the field

• Apply AI tools to content production at Tack TMI since 2023: asset generation, voiceovers, avatars and post-production.
• Use AI-enhanced post-production on international video projects.
• As a freelancer, help clients integrate AI into their production so they can move faster and scale their communication.
• Certified Generative AI Leader and Google Prompting Essentials; daily tools include ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, ElevenLabs, HeyGen, Magnific and Higgsfield.

Cross-functional & international production

Connecting creative, learning and project teams around one plan, and running video productions that involve people and locations in different countries.

In the field

• Collaborate with Instructional and Learning Designers to turn learning goals into effective visual outputs.
• Coordinate with Project Management on milestones and resources.
• Plan and supervise complex international video productions: pre-production, recording, creative supervision and post-production.
• Client-facing production work since 2016, from events and corporate videos to brand campaigns.

Quality & standards

Defining what good looks like for learning content, and making it repeatable across people, projects and formats.

In the field

• Provide quality oversight throughout production, from concept to delivery.
• Contribute to the evolution of the team's digital learning production standards.
• As Specialist, built motion design, animation and multimedia assets to improve learner engagement, clarity and quality.
• Keep visual and promotional content consistent with brand guidelines for global communication.

Pre-production workflow redesign

I redesigned how our video projects start. A custom AI skill builds the first storyboard in Miro from the team template, so the team reviews a structured draft instead of starting from a blank board.

What changed

1. One structured start — the brief and the client's brand guidelines go into a single shared template.
2. Script to scenes — the script is split into scenes automatically, one frame per scene.
3. Wireframes first — layout is agreed on every scene before any design time is spent.
4. Production-ready prompts — each scene comes with AI prompts for images (GPT Image) and video (Seedance).
5. Faster alignment — the team and stakeholders comment on the board before production starts.

E-learning production pipeline

One end-to-end pipeline for producing e-learning courses, with clear steps, tools and hand-offs from concept to delivery. It took a 30-minute course from 8 weeks of production to about 2.

From concept to delivery

1. Concept — learning goals and format agreed with Learning Designers.
2. Script — written and approved before any visual work starts.
3. Voiceover — recorded or generated, then timed to the script.
4. HeyGen — avatar presenters for the on-camera parts.
5. Miro — storyboard and review with the team and stakeholders.
6. After Effects — motion design and animation.
7. Translation — localised versions for each market.
8. Delivery — final exports for the client's platform.
