What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an opportunity with a boutique or home décor business where I can contribute creativity, visual presentation, customer connection, and an appreciation for beautiful surroundings.

At Chalk Couture, I led Studio Art and Product Development teams, guiding creative products from concept through finished presentation. I directed artwork, visual development, catalogs, tutorials, and marketing resources designed to help customers connect with new products.

I also bring hands-on sewing instruction, content creation, and training experience, with a strong eye for color, texture, craftsmanship, and thoughtfully designed spaces. I’m seeking a boutique or home décor opportunity where creativity and customer connection are valued.
