GENERAL MERCHANDISER
Professional Summary

With background in the world of sales and retail, skills in managing time and being proficient with multiple tasks handled at once are shown to be one of my strongest suits. Every job I go into I go and give it 100 percent, to be able to achieve the highest quality of work not just for the company that I am being employed for, but also for myself. My strong background in the arts, being proficient in 2D design, a mastery of drawing from life and from anatomy help to make and form some strong pieces that I have created throughout my time in University. I have extensive knowledge in graphic design as well so knowing what is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, to where the piece needs to grab the attention of the audience immediately, is another one of my strong suits. My proficient knowledge in the realm of digital art and animation helps to modernize my skills to be applicable in the projects of today, combined with my work experience in very fast paced and ever changing environments help to bring a wonderful mixture of creativity and plain old hard work and honesty to the table.

Video Games

This is one of my biggest hobbies I enjoy experiencing stories and I think the best stories come from games. that connection you get, the tactile feeling, the immersion being presented is unlike anything else I have ever experienced in my life. My favorite games include greats like The Last of Us part 1 and 2 respectively, God of War, and even Cyberpunk 2077, to more older experiences such as the original Final Fantasy 7 and Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask. Games are the new book to me, something to get lost in and to really sink your teeth into.
