    As an Art Center graduate I have 12 + years experience a designer/modeler and over 5 years of professional design management experience as director of design/Senior Designer overseeing multiple VIP projects simultaneously. I’ve lead a design team from conceptual stage through production and sourced vendors for the production process. My leadership has been successful in a creative environment to expand the boundaries of design and production while staying inline with strict constraints of the projects parameters. I also have 2 years experience in class A Alias modeling with General Motors.
