  While at Apple, I worked as part of the Localization team. I helped collect and organize images from the Mac and iOS interface, which requires a lot of problem solving, scheduling, organizing, and working with Photoshop. I also helped manage workflow with our contractors by overseeing their production, quality-checking their work, and sending the finalized projects to our team members offsite. I also got to work on in-house design materials such as team identity design, email templates, and score card design. Show less
