As part of my work at wochit.com, which builds solutions for producing and editing video online, I was responsible for setting up the company's graphics infrastructure from day one as the company's main product was developed from the ground up, and growing from being the sole designer in the company’s early days, To managing a department of 5 designers, programmers and animators, responsible for providing all graphics solutions for the company's departments and hundreds of customers.

 The department's responsibilities included the creation of video graphics packages for large media outlets around the world, building graphic elements for customers' video needs, building complex dynamic graphic templates that support thousands of videos a day using automated systems, support for all graphics needs of the company's products while improving working methods, upgrading and improving the pipeline between customer requirements, the product department, the developers and marketing department, as well as art direction, guidance and ongoing management of designers' work on a daily basis.

 Additionally, I helped develop the company's products and working methods, and worked closely with the development dept. and with product managers on improving, modifying and adding features to the company's products that would serve all of the company's customers in its video editing products. I have also trained employees in the company's offices around the world, on mediating between the graphics department and customers in order to improve customer service, and to study their needs firsthand.

As part of my job, I worked with many of the largest broadcast and communication companies around the world, such as NBC, USA Today, SKY News, E!
