## About

```text
At Hertex Fabrics, I delivered tailored décor and product solutions for trade and retail clients, focusing on sales for the HAUS division. I exceeded monthly showroom sales targets and achieved 140% of budget in June.

I also designed and standardized order fulfillment and inventory tracking workflows, and wrote SOPs to guide showroom teams on digital tools and HAUS collection rollouts. My work included coordinating high-value deliveries and calculating transport costs and payloads.

At Exotic Kitchens, I designed more than 100 bespoke kitchen layouts and prepared drawings, 3D models, and renderings. I also helped redesign the showroom, contributing to a 15% increase in foot traffic.

At Clear Dynamics, I created marketing content and integrated AI-assisted tools into design workflows, doubling operational output. Earlier at DoDo Safety & Industrial, I worked in marketing management and safety administration, including implementing a booking system that improved appointment scheduling efficiency by 35%.
