Pros

My time spent supporting the Creative Team at Penumbra was invaluable. Despite organizational stress when a novel craft is run and built concurrently- forced to balance stability and innovation- I am proud of the work I did and wish my former coworkers great success.

Cons

Although I’ve grown tremendously in managing brand systems, cross-functional collaboration, and creative leadership, I’m now looking to apply that experience in a more creatively driven environment where storytelling and design innovation are central to the role.
