DIGITECH AND DAM ADMINISTRATOR, THRASIO
I am one of two Bynder DAM administrators. I oversee changes to taxonomy, user training and permissions, documentation, and asset migration from previous DAM systems and Google Drive. I also identify areas of improvement for user experience, metadata, and other areas and work to implement solutions that make Bynder usage more simple and efficient.
I also manage all creative assets for the Product Strategy and Development team. I have developed a file structure and naming convention for the local server and team Google drive, created workflows to migrate PS&D assets to Bynder, and put systems in place to ensure raw and working file security and integrity. I also oversee photo and video metadata during shoots so that correct products are identified in final assets.
For fun, I also run the Salt Lake City office book club!
