Lessons Learned

This was a really big project, so there was a lot to learn. Here’s a few of my takeaways:

  • I got very, very comfortable working in Adobe Illustrator and preparing files for print
  • I kept an asset library updated consistently as I developed new color palettes and created packaging icons
  • I worked on managing priorities as I juggled the daily tasks of my job during a big launch project 
  • I developed systems for consistency and efficiency with repetitive tasks
  • I dug deep into the advanced functions of Asana to facilitate helpful project management
