Work Experience
Mary Kay, Independent Beauty Consultant

• This has allowed me to run my own business and grow as a person by taking steps outside of my comfort zone to gain new customers and make people feel the best that they can.
Genesee Valley Motors, Graphic Designer/Internet Lead Manager
Avon, NY, December 2008 – Present
• Responsible for visually composing concepts to completion in order to produce all creative campaigns; ads, postcards, email blasts, billboards, business cards, decals, banners, etc while working directly with my boss.
• Communicate between 2 stores to coordinate, design and distribute all ads to meet weekly deadlines for several publishers.
• Had customers come in saying they were not from the area and they were looking for a Jeep dealership. The 50ft billboard I created, directed them to our dealership.
• I sent out 300 postcards that I created, printed in house, cut, labeled, stamped and mailed independently. A customer came in with one of the postcards and said, “ I want this car.” This direct mail piece helped us reach and surpass our allotted number of sales for the month.
