Creative Partner at Brilliant
About
What is do you do as a Creative Partner?
I am an Account/Project Manager and Designer at a corporate gifting and branding company. I worked with clients end-to-end on projects, including sourcing on-trend products, design, managing timelines and budgets, fulfillment and customer service.
Why did you choose to major in Psychology and how has that affected your career thus far?
Psychology relates to every profession and career in some way, since every job includes working with others. I focused specifically in Social/Organizational Psychology, so many of my courses and learnings had direct ties to experiences outside of the classroom.
What was your career path like?
For 2-3 years, I was in advertising, which is also a people-oriented business. In many creative industries, there needs to be an understanding of human behavior and what motivates people to be successful, so having a Psychology background is helpful.
How has the University of Michigan alumni network helped you thus far in your career?
Because of the vast and widespread alumni base, I have been able to connect with alumni in every city I have lived and worked in across a variety of industries.
