I am a dedicated, multi-talented individual looking for full-time employment in a creative field. I have a degree in Interior Design and experience as a part-time designer working with a commercial business interiors company. I interned with a contract furniture company working with the design team, specifically with Steelcase products. I also have experience working in a web marketing environment with content management systems and editing web content for a private university.
I have experience working in small offices (5-10) and larger offices (~200+) and am comfortable working with all kinds of individuals and across departments. I am very tech savvy and pick up new skills quickly. I am very adaptable and love to learn. If I don't know the answer to a problem, I am willing to do the research to find it.
Outside of design my passion is Ki Aikido. I am an active member of the Eastern Ki Federation and regularly attend EKF seminars along the East Coast throughout the year. I currently hold the rank of 1st Kyu (brown belt) and I am working on achieving my black belt in 2014.
