The time I spent with Brandow Creative gave me essential professional practice experiences. It also gave me the knowledge base to successfully complete some of my later achievments. One lesson I learned was the importance to be thorough in my work. Working in a small business enviroment I learned how to take responsibility for the success of a project and get the job done to a high quality standard and timely manner. At Brandow Creative I started as an intern and quickly moved up to fill a role as one of the full time industrial designers. After gaining the confidence of my team and upper management I was given the responsibility to take on larger projects. One of my projects included all material purchasing, vendor management, and CNC drawings for a new construction Lunds & Byerlys grocery store. Later I helped in the installation of the interior elements. The store was successfully completed on time and still looks great today.
