About
I am passionate about problem solving to create functional design solutions. I believe that wonderful products are achieved through strategic thinking and creative ideas. I understand the impact that good design can have on sales. In my current role I use a variety of software programs and market knowledge to create a creative, innovative, and original presentation of trending art. My work experiences have taught me to be confident, intentional, and collaborative, and to successfully determine solutions during tight deadlines.
