I network within the industry and provide a single point of contact and become an integral component of any prospective business deal. My role involves promoting the quality and artisanship of the product and undertaking pre-sales, marketing and account management functions.

Key achievements in this position included: - Completion of six projects, with three in progress- Gained expertise in the arts and sculpture industry: trends; terminology; regulations and competition- Acquisition of new customers and expansion of existing customer accounts.
