Welcome!
This is not my mug or my laptop, but look at how happy and productive that zoom call looks!
My name is McCabe.
I’m based in Chicago.
I am currently seeking employment with creative teams who build websites, software applications, digital advertisements, games, basically, anything where how something looks, how it works, how it helps you do something (be it productivity-related, communication-based, or just something fun to play). I have been looking everywhere for companies that need people who are passionate about digitally-based imaginative storytelling projects, especially in an atmosphere where those projects require multiple updates, iterations, and innovations.
Perhaps a software development company, a software company, or an advertising agency - developing partnerships with their clients to continually build, maintain, and innovate digital creative offerings? Or maybe inside the creative team where the company itself is its own client, building amazing innovations and offering an applicant like myself the opportunity to help develop, shape, build, and flavor the voice of the brand through any or all of their creative communications.
I’d love to hear from you, if you are hiring, or have a lead on an opportunity - Contact me and I’ll send a resume - we can schedule a call.
Or, if you want to start slow, we can connect on LinkedIn…
I help develop, enhance, and deliver digital content throughout the entire production process, collaborating with clients, design teams, and development teams from start to finish, ensuring that the final product and subsequent software updates are well-designed and functional for both the backend and the frontend interface.
If you work in the digital space, you know how important it is to have a well-trained, dedicated production team to organize, optimize, proofread, and edit media content according to brand guidelines, edit the images and videos to fit all required media sizes, populating the content management system (CMS), test functionality, all the while keeping aligned with the requirements of designers, developers, clients, and brands, while obtaining necessary approvals and legal reviews before pushing live.
As a leader and a creative digital production specialist, I am proud of having built and supported several highly performing production teams as we strike the delicate balance of content management, digital design, consistent communication, and professionalism. We are the people who can take one template and, with a simple headline break, creative image crop, or subtle gradient can refresh a project without going outside brand guidelines or needing a completely new software update.
With my extensive experience and dedication to creative digital production, I excel at working on editorial planning teams, tracking and improving team performance, prepping agendas, running meetings, and delivering followups with action items…as well as having dabbled in design operations and process development. I thrive in collaboration with various stakeholders including design, development, C-suite, clients, and analytics/financial professionals, seeking and reporting opportunities for process automation, optimization, software and process iterations, as well as working together to maintain the training we all need to stay current and agile.
I believe that auditing legacy processes give us an opportunity to inform change, wihtout standing as a barrier to innovation…we can grow without losing sight of the brand.
And I also believe that the right opportunity is out there for me, but I’m not waiting to find myself in an elevator with you, or maybe with your boss, delivering the dreaded three-to-five sentence “elevator pitch” in hopes that it will convince them to bring me on board. I’m that person pushing the button, shaking your hand, and asking you to scan my linkedin QR code before those elevator doors even open.
Trust me. I’ve built thousands of websites. Millions of digital ads. I’ve even migrated hundreds of apps between proprietary software systems that no one had seen before.
I am exactly the person you need on your team to help keep things moving, shaking, and growing - I cannot wait to see what stories your team is telling and how I can join in the fun.
