I'm proud to have created fine art and illustrations for clients for almost twenty years.

Guided the Creative Visual Merchandising Studio in all operations; multiple concurrent complex projects. Supported the design development, fabrication, and installation of all visual elements produced for stores, particularly the window displays, both for global production and for special design builds at Exhibitions and the 5th Ave Landmark Store. Project managed complex cross-team vendor fabrications and installations. Managed the corporate collection of Tiffany lamps and antiques. Logistics, art handling, budgeting, administrative leadership, archival conservation.

In my role as a Prop Fabricator and team lead, I executed and helped oversee all creative projects in the Studio. I hand-made mockups and buildouts and supported both design development and VIP presentations. I problem-solved at a fast pace and trained on various production equipment and software tools in the Adobe and Microsoft suites.

Created and installed hero props and full sets for several 5th Avenue Holiday windows, including Macy's six Holiday 2019 windows, five pop-up Holiday 2019 Windows for Paypal, and campaign props for Nike Flagship. Included laser-cutting and heat-forming acrylic, building six-foot-long kaleidoscopes, creating a suspended liquid installation, fabricating large mixed-media animal figures, and styling the merchandise.

Built all display elements and retail fixtures in the Madison, WI UO location for 18 months, both temporary and permanent assets. Created all-new windows sets and sales floor sets by hand four times per year. Included set building and woodworking, large-scale and hanging art installations, graphics and signage; budgeting, buying, and bookkeeping. Traveled to support store openings and design-builds on specialized teams.

Managed and executed all operations at theengravedbottle.com, a fledgling custom glass-engraving program begun at a high-end wine store, which I helped to mold into an independent small business. All design, engraving production, point-of-sale, and customer service; brand identity development and marketing strategy; web design for the business' beta and e-commerce sites. Created kitchenware and barware product lines, sourced and purchasing the glassware, while developing and fabricating all decorative designs. Took all customer orders, offered custom order consultations, and fulfilled all production and shipping/logistics.

Created 30 vector-based assets for the Littlest Pet Shop brand in Adobe Illustrator. Assisted with the development activity publications and enhanced e-books for My Little Pony, and with filing, records management, and administrative tasks.

Supervised staff, training, and purchasing as Café Manager. Coordinated the shows and parties in the café's gallery space as Programs Manager.

Trained in basic jewelrymaking skills (silver- and gold-smithing, engraving, hammering, piercing, stone setting) and created merchandise displays. Managed the business' social media marketing.

Created and taught a scalable two-week visual arts curriculum for children ages 5-14 in summer day camp in multiple sessions.
