What attracted you to work for Blue Bee?
I was approached by Blue Bee in July 2022 and felt excited to join a creative team. The job role allowed me to excel at things I am good at most – client liaison, whilst also nurturing my creative skills in art and photography.
What do you enjoy most about your role as Head of Projects
What I enjoy most about this role is how varied it can be when it comes to our diverse range of clients. I get to learn a lot about different industries and I can put my organisational skills to effective use when it comes to structuring a new website for our clients. We have some exceptionally talented graphic designers, one thing I really enjoy is watching their process and seeing ideas come to life. It can make the whole job and each project more enjoyable when you’re delivering a product that not only functions well for client needs but also looks great.
What project management methodologies or tools do you rely on most, and why?
Time management and effective communication is key. I will implement a timeline at the start of each project to help keep things in check, this will usually be in the form of a GANTT chart. This helps me, the team and the client stick to timeframes and we can meet deadlines and deliverables in the best possible way.
If you could give one piece of advice to someone new to project leadership, what would it be?
Be flexible and adaptable. A lot of the clients that come through the door are a diverse range of characters each with their own origin story and mission. I try to be as flexible and adaptable as possible to meet their needs whilst also seeing their vision and seeing that through with them to project end stage. It makes work ultimately more enjoyable and they hopefully feel comfortable and confident with the person leading the project the whole way through.
