About
I was born in Buffalo, NY and moved to New Jersey when I was very young. I've lived almost my entire life in the cultural abyss known as Cape May Court House.
In high school I studied Graphic Design Technology, which got me acquainted with programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. I also learned a few hands on skills including matte board cutting (woo-wee) and silk screen printing. I graduated in 2005.
I studied Studio Arts a bit at a community college and built up my sculpting, painting and drawing skills and finally left home when I was accepted to study at the Art Institute of Philadelphia in 2008. I took up Industrial Design Technology and graduated with my Bachelors degree by 2012.
Right now, in the midst of looking for a career, I work as a Stock / Sales associate at Bath & Body Works, but I want to find something better. A full time position in a company where I can rock my 3D modeling and hand rendering skills. -

Experience

Stock/SupportBath & Body Works2010 - Present (16 years)My role as a Stock/support associate at Bath & Body works meant I had to successfully process the shipment the store received. I had to keep the store stocked and organized, the back room had to stay full of product so I could move it to the floor quickly if needed. I would also organize our "offsite" storage space so product could be easily found and stored. At times, I have also been a cashier and worked the floor, assisting customers with finding the product they needed, whenever it got too busy.

Certified FramerMichaels Arts and CraftsJun 2007 - Sep 2008 (1 year 3 months)As a certified framer, my tasks included working one on one with customers to help them create a look they desired for artwork they brought in to be framed. This included choosing what style frame would best fit their decor, what matting would accentuate the artwork best, and handling large sums of money when the order was placed. When not working with customers, I was busy assembling orders to the customer's specification, for which I needed to cut mat board and glass to fit a specific frame size, properly attach the artwork to acid-free mat or foam board and seal the frame off when the piece was assembled. Work had to be organized by names and dates, and I had to work at a fast pace to ensure the orders that needed to be completed were filed away properly.
