Retail | Residential | Merchandising Design | Wholesale | Men's Collective | Apparel Trade show - Booth - Showroom Design/Set-up - Retail Visuals - Vignette Displays - Lobby Installations. Worked with hundreds of vendors and apparel lines making sure all wholesalers and guests were satisfied with all design installations. Performed seminars about how to merchandise their retail stores to best suit their niche. I performed inventory for every wholesaler who participated in the lobby designs for trade shows. Guest services is the number one skill that I commit to. Ensuring that all guests were assisted with any and all needs that they may have is essential to the success of any company and I do not go light on this skill. It has gotten me so far in my career and I owe ninety percent of my accomplishments to guest relations.
