Pool Cue Design, Print and Marketing Materials Design

At Viking Cues I was played many different roles due to our small staff size, I was head of product design and was responsible for the design, development and programming of our cues manufactured in the USA, I was also the decal designer for our import line of cues. When I was not designing pool cues I was working on various different tasks and was always kept busy, as our marketing department consisted of myself and a videographer/ social media ambassador.
