Digital Asset Management Specialist
Transforming complex information into meaningful communication
Digital Asset Management (DAM) systems are being adopted across a range of business organizations, large and small, corporate and non-profit. A well-functioning DAM enables users to easily find and share information.
DAMs are organizationally and technologically complex, so it is important to put together a site that looks simple and accessible and engaging. DAMs bring together diverse groups across an organization; those human relationships can be messy. But your DAM doesn’t have to be messy. Ann can help you design, manage, or implement a DAM that empowers you and your company to do what you do best.
Ann’s passion for her career and hands-on approach sets her apart. She enjoys the challenge of creating digital libraries that work for each new project. The challenge lies in weaving together specific customer requirements, together with industry best practices, while still fitting into the particulars of the chosen DAM software. Each puzzle is intriguing to solve.
