Mar 2013 - Present (9 years 2 months)
Currently contributing as a lead conceptual designer providing beautifully executed renderings and creative material as well as assisting with day to day creative project management. I have a broad knowledge of temporary, permanent and semi-permanent display materials and construction. On a daily basis I execute creative duties, assist other designers with creative direction or technical assistance and help create game plans for large scale creative project time lines. I work comfortably not only being the lead on a project, but also being a supporting cast member and taking direction from my peers. I have a great deal of customer interaction and am comfortable working directly with them to provide the finest solutions possible.
