Configuration and supervision of the Kare Design Area (985 - 1300 sq. ft.) at Rudolf Leiner, in Vienna, between June 2006 to December 2015. The range of tasks covered the selection and order of the goods, showroom design and remodeling coordination, delivery & claims management, cooperation with other manufacturers: Mebelplast, Bretz, Theca (selection and customizing of special models), sales & interior design counseling.The mix of 65% of takeaway items, 25% of items to be customized and ordered, 10% distinctive, more expensive items, resulted in a very distinct department, and an increase in sales up to 25%. Various criteria, from price and sale potential to the prospect of a low level in claims, were further decisive specifications to consider. “Think global, buy local” was a principle to follow.

Import and exclusive distribution of handmade glass and dinnerware from Italy, Great Britain, and France, shop in Vienna (1997-2004): handmade glass and dinnerware, small furniture, decoration items, Fairtrade Attendance: “Tendence” Frankfurt (B2B), “Souvenir Creativ” Salzburg (B2B), “Bauen & Wohnen” Vienna (B2C)Love for design, beautiful glass and ceramics was the reason for starting cold the retail and wholesale trade with my husband in 1994 in Vienna. We concentrated on small manufacturers with big stories and peerless products behind. Direct sales, no commercial agent, and exclusiveness was our credo for the wholesale. Still, our approach and concept were probably too idealistic, and even if our shop in the City was a success for some years, its kind was too early to be.

Layout & Revision, also acting as a conjunction between editorial staff and printing houseAfter 1990, I switched to “Convorbiri Literare”, one of the most important magazines for Romanian literature, adding layout and organization to my tasks. My work also intertwined on a daily basis with politics and electoral campaign. Using not only new PR methods but mainly undeniable facts and figures, we have turned a quiet math teacher into a strong candidate of the opposition, that easily won the elections to be a mayor for the maximum of two legislations in a row.
