There is a lot to think about when it comes to branding and visual communications. In my current role as a Brand Manager, I look for talented individuals every day to 'pass the baton' to when it comes to future leaders in this field!Here's a little bit about me:I am a veteran of the United States Navy, where I was an Electronic Technician for 4 years. As much as I enjoyed my experience in the military, the Navy really didn't allow me to do what I wanted to do - Design. So after my enlistment, I decided to attend the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM), where I later graduated with an AA in Visual Communications.Upon graduating, I landed a part time visual merchandising position with Living Spaces Furniture in the Bay Area market. At the time, I expected for this to just be a 'learning opportunity' for me to gain more knowledge in the visual design world, in order to find the career I actually wanted. Surprisingly, Living Spaces became less of a 'want' and more of a 'need' for me, as I quickly learned that this was exactly the kind of culture and work environment I loved being in.With this company, I have had the opportunity to grow as a visual stylist, and develop into the leader that I am today. I have held both front line and management positions in both the Visual and Logistics side of the company, and I am now taking my knowledge to help grow and develop our future leaders! Since my first position with Living Spaces 4 years ago, I have received 4 promotions, along with 3 relocation opportunities. Bonus: I've had the pleasure of helping open 4 of our new stores so far, as well. I now find myself in the beautiful city of Fort Worth, Texas! Outside of my work life, I very greatly appreciate my alone time - Sitting back, sipping coffee, and enjoying a movie or some HGTV sounds like a great day to me! I also enjoy volunteer work as well as interior design and space planning (sounds a bit like work, right? I promise it is a much different satisfaction!). Growing up in the Bay Area, I have a deep love for both the beach and large city life. I'm generally a 'go-go-go' type person, so large cities and fast-pace environments fit right into my kind of lifestyle.If you are ever interested in a career which allows you to thrive creatively, and open new doors for your future opportunities - Please feel free to reach out to me! I am always open to meeting new people, especially passionate and driven individuals who aim to excel in their fields. Let's grow together!
