What’s your title at Next Day Animations? Describe your work.
Special Projects Manager. I like to think of myself a the team’s left-handed right hand man (note: NOT an official job description.) I am currently putting a lot of time towards social media marketing and a competitive analysis, but I hope that as I continue to integrate into Next Day, I will get the chance to manage a lot of special projects that help out each member of this incredible team.

Describe your typical work day
Each day I check in with our fearless leader (Jesse), who helps me plan my schedule by letting me know which of the many tasks on his plate he needs support with. Sometimes, he’ll orient me to other members of the team who could use a hand. One of the best parts about my job is that each day is really different depending on what the team needs – it’s never a boring work day!
