• Confident team member. I've worked closely with talented interior retail designers, photographers, stylists, copywriters, UX/UI designers, coders, art directors, managers and fellow designers to achieve our goals. Have mentored junior designers and continue this practice through my various placements.
• Experience with client/vendor-facing meetings, and project development.
