What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a stable company where I can continue growing my professional knowledge, contribute to evolving design trends, and take on meaningful design and leadership responsibilities.

I've led teams of 10 through exhibit projects from concept to completion, partnering with cross-functional teams and leading client meetings and presentations.

I've designed trade-show exhibits using CAD, Adobe Creative Suite, and 3D Studio Max, built shared asset libraries, and created training materials for remote teams.
