I found a way to translate my love of art into a legitimate career. Combining my art background and sales abilities, I was able to showcase this group of talented illustrators and designers. My job was to understand the skills and abilities of artists so I could represent their work in the broadest way, keeping the artists and studio productive. Also key was supporting the production of the projects. Smoothly executing the work built strong client relationships that drove recurring business. • Was named the top salesperson from 1997 to 1999, selling over $500,000 annually.• Developed strong relationships with clients by connecting the most appropriate artists and designers to the needs of the project, from major ad campaigns to children’s books. • Created marketing concepts, art shows and promotional events to build the studio’s image.
