P.T. SchroederCreative & Design Leader

Motivated, passionate and driven, I bring 15+ years of creative & design leadership to the table. I thrive on pushing boundaries and designing amazing experiences.

In 2000, I co-founded Imigent Media, a full-scale creative design agency. I honed my creative skills over thousands of hours of design and development work using the full Adobe Suite incorporating all mediums to satisfy client requirements. This work also required full proficiency in coding HTML and CSS to deliver excellent web experiences and countless brand creatives for more than 75 clients in a variety of industries.

In 2010 I joined Kabam, Inc., a fIn 2010 I joined Kabam, Inc., a free-to-play social gaming company, where as a visual designer I was instrumental in starting the Marketing Art Department. As a part of this team helping lead design that supported more than 20 games for an audience of more than 20 million users, I was instrumental in the design and development of landing pages, UI/UX, mobile/web advertising including scaling of company-wide emails, development of iOS / Android assets, company swag, and print media. Delivering outstanding creative assets in tight timelines required effective collaboration with teams across the enterprise. Building relationships using clear communication techniques for strategic planning and driving design thplanning and driving design through research, design libraries, using best UX practices coupled with data collection and analysis resulted in Kabam, Inc. enjoying success with many top-grossing games.

In 2014 I joined Alfresco, a key player in the enterprise content management and business process management space as the head of design in the Marketing Team. As head of design, it is my mission to motivate my team to create digital experiences that ensure Alfresco continues to innovate and develop an exciting and effective brand as they continue to be a leader in their space. My team accomplishes this by framing challenges that allow exploration through creativity to help build impacting experiences for our target audiences. We partner this with data-driven design decisions and a clear vision of Alfresco's mission. This partnership of mindsets has helped contribute to company success company success by growing a strong and consistent brand and putting company-wide design practices in place.

As someone with a deep passion for design I spend of lot of my spare time exploring product design and new technologies. I am a person who is intensely creative and enjoy expressing this creativity through technology. I have provided design and UX direction for a variety of startups. Learning how companies are trying to solve problems and helping to provide ideas for creative, simple and effective solutions is something I find extremely fulfilling.

A favorite quote of mine from one of Google's founders is, "Always deliver more than expected." I pride myself on working hard and, above all, working smart. Innovative and powerful design comes from streamlined practices, exploration through creativity and strong, clear communication. I am confident that with my passion for design, my commitment to pushing creative boundaries, and my incredibly strong work ethic, I bring exceptional creative leadership to any team.

Focused on inspiring creativity through design.
