Member Profile
Raakhee NagaonkarI have always been a high achiever and always aim to go higher. To work in a position that allows me to develop my skills, add challenges to my day-to-day life and help me reach my goal is what I am always looking for.
I am currently working with FinPa Australia as a Production Manager (Contract). Before that, I was working as a Digital Producer (one month contract) with McCann Erickson and before that as an Online Creative Producer with TVNZ – Television New Zealand, as the Web Designer with Fisher & Paykel. I have almost 12yrs of hands on experience in this industry.
I feel that my studies as well as my long years of experience in the same field give me a sound background and preparation for this role. Creativity and Imagination have been my forte, right from my early days. I have used IA, Usability Research and user testing as a part of my design process all the time.
I have excellent conceptualization, strong leadership and communication skills. Strong project management skills including team and budget management. A good command over Adobe Suite CS5. A supportive team player, highly ambitious and ability to work in and with all levels of an organization.
Besides the love for my work, i love reading a lot...and am a voracious reader. I enjoy Tennis and F1 as sports, I am actively involved in Social media and drawing, painting are a hobby.
