Bio
Shauna Suhadolnik
John-Michael is just as much a gift as he is gifted, and his tenure as giggle's visual merchandising manager certainly stretched his gifts well above his already deep trove of talent. He approaches visual design with incredible creativity, passion, resourcefulness and attention to detail, and always actively searches for revenue-generating and expense-reducing opportunities. He embraces new challenges, and is a highly effective and trusted team player whose collaborative spirit and diplomatic cross-functional talents always ensured that our day-to-day and long-term projects would advance and avoid potential bottlenecks. It was an absolute pleasure to have John-Michael as part of our team and I hope to have the chance to work with him again in the future.
