Learning Experience and Program Designer (Customer Success)

Ella Wright Leadership

I provide training program and content development, design, and delivery as an independent contractor/consultant. I mostly do this for leaders but I'm always open to exploring new audiences and subjects that align with my values and interests.

I can partner with you to create structure, learning, and organization for your leaders to target key behaviors and problems or amplify existing learning experiences. 

I love the opportunity to facilitate learning experiences and am energized by bringing together groups of individuals ready for reflection and growth. 

I have experience with diverse industries and groups of leaders - landscaping, manufacturing, finance, tech, healthcare, and transportation. I can create and facilitate with native Spanish speakers as well!

Founder & Head of Operations

Instinct Animations

In Short:

▪️ Successfully completed 100+ projects for 30+ clients
▪️ Led creative vision from project initiation to delivery.
▪️ Completed projects for People.ai, Microsoft, Pfizer.
▪️ Designed new processes to simplify documentation and improve processes.
▪️ Hired and trained a new Project Manager.

Description:
▪️ Creative Strategy: Pulling from my experience in Film and Media Arts, I played a major role in the creative process. My creative background was crucial when I reviewed deliverables before sending to clients, gave clients advice on change requests, and ensured that the final product was in alignment with the client’s initial goals.

▪️ Creative Team Leadership: My clear creative briefs and clear communication throughout projects lead to faster production times and made it clear that we were listening to the client’s direction.

▪️ Client Relationship Management: As the go-to for Instincts clients, I made it a priority to understand what each stakeholder needed to feel taken care of. I had weekly meetings with clients who wanted a more hands-on approach, and constantly reminded all clients that I am available for a meeting anytime.

▪️ Leadership & Succession Planning: Interviewed, hired, and onboarded a new Project Manager. This new Project Manager was able to start managing major projects within 3 weeks. I provided ongoing support until their onboarding was completed in 2 months.

▪️ Team Unity: I believe a happy team that’s having fun is more productive. I would send fun links into our team’s Slack for us to chat about, and always remind team members that being a bit odd helps our creativity.

▪️ Start-Up Leadership: We had a small team. This meant making hard decisions about what’s most important.

▪️ Standardized Production: Lacking a cohesive backlog and documentation system, I implemented a solution at no cost to the company using Notion. This reduced handover issues and made production faster, as information was now accessible to the whole team.

Zoes Kitchen

My employment at ZK began as a Front of House Staff member. I was responsible for taking orders from customers, clarifying menu items, taking payment, and ensuring their order was received by the cooks. 
After a few months, my manager thought I would be a better fit as a Back of House Staff. I was then responsible for preparing ingredients for recipes at the beginning of each day, making dishes for customers, cleaning my work area according to industry standards, and keeping my station ready to go for the next shift.

My bread and butter: where marketing, creative, and tech come together.

Looking for someone to chat with about art, AI, marketing, SEO, cameras, and somehow also fitness? I'm your guy! Send a connection request, I'd love to chat!

From a young age I taught myself HTML/C, got into circuitry and even 3D printing. 

Since then, I have shifted my technical skills towards creative projects, using them to make satisfying high quality still and video products, streamlining production processes, and finding new cool ways to make stuff.

I started my own business 5 years ago which has been the most incredible experience in client relationship management, marketing, project management, and really just life.
