SUMMARY:
I am a detail-oriented professional with seventeen years of combined experience in the design and retail sectors. My years in these two fast-paced industries have enabled me to develop valuable skills complimentary to my technical and design abilities. I believe that these skills, including project management and execution, problem solving, creative thinking, customer relations and office management, will allow me to move beyond the industries in which I have worked and been successful. I am currently exploring opportunities that will allow me to utilize my creativity and skills set and provide new challenges outside of my core experience.
