What I'm looking for
At Vintage Vagabond, I helped open and set up the physical location, support business operations, and update and maintain the online shop. I cultivate a customer-focused environment and support the owner with sales and inventory.
At H. Ward Miles, I created digital content and executed brand strategies to build awareness, positioning, and identity. I also created marketing and graphic materials for customer outreach and online channels.
I created and supported the H. Ward Miles website in Squarespace, working within the brand identity. I collaborated with the artist to understand creative content needs and customer needs, and maintained and prepared the gallery space.
As a Studio Assistant, I created shipping solutions for large-scale artwork, assisted with art fair set-up, and prepared paintings for sale. My Studio Art focus at Hanover College strengthened my visual art practice and openness to learning.
