PETER DIAR - ONLINE RESUME

Working as a Studio Art Director involves the studio art at a whole.
With a team of 15 artists I´ll provide support and leadership, as well as working with Studio Leadership (Head of Studio, Studio Director and Producers) as a key contributor as well as a driver for the studio strategy.

Providing hands on support to art leads and artists across the studio is to cover:

• Continously improve the quality and efficiency of our art processes
• As a part of the studio art team actively lead, support, coach and develop individuals.
• Lead, develop and provide training needed to ensure we as individuals grow
• Provide support and development for goal settings and personal development.
• Oversee artist capacity/skill requirements and ensure we are staffed according to our studio needs. This includes managing the hiring of artists into the studio as required.
• Facilitate good working partnerships between studio art and key partners such as Brand, Marketing and Insights

With the love for both art and studio development as well as individual development, I thrive to continue constant success and high team spirit.
