With a booth in a busy design-based nested market, Rare Goods centered its selection on curated and crafted useful and beautiful goods. Located in Asheville, NC, the customer of Rare Goods was an unusual mixture of savvy locals, travelers, and treasure seekers. It was a delight to connect with my clients through our shared love of the rare, the beautiful, the useful, and the unusual.

Retail Associate

• Aug 2018 - Aug 2019

I was assistant in the retail outlet for Common Ground Book Distributors located in Asheville, NC. I was responsible for inventory, markdowns, restocking, and visual merchandising of books after those books had been to the markets. With showrooms on the East and West Coasts, Common Ground Book Distributors is the largest wholesale book distributor for the specialty market in the Eastern United States. I worked for this and their sister-company for almost 7 years. My employment ended only because my husband was offered a scholarship to attend a competitive University in Barcelona, Spain. Show less

Social Media Manager, Artist

• May 2012 - Sep 2012

This project started with a question related to materials and their continued use. I am an artist with an Master's Degree in Sustainable Development and with the use materials gleaned from 41 decommissioned, deconstructed pianos my husband and I were able to craft and curate 13 tons from these musical monoliths. He and I were both lead Artists on the project and it lead to many wall-hanging sculptures, installation pieces, community-based sound-interactive works, a few magazine articles, a radio interview, an online shop, and a line with a catalog based in Seattle, Washington (US). These resonate materials provided elegant way to have the sometimes avoided conversation about ethics, environment, and economic implications of our habits of consumption and a celebration of careful reuse.

Display Coordinator

• 2005 - 2007

First as assistant to display at the shop in Berkeley and then San Franciscio, I was the Display Coordinator for Anthropologie #435 in Palo Alto, California. The Display Coordinator supports the visual and materials need of the shop in terms of visual and material language in form of signs and art-installations as well as the overall "feel" of the shop. I left this position after two years working for their company.
