Western Neon

• United States
• Design
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Lead Designer

  • Apr 2018 - Dec 2020

  Western Neon was my introduction to the world of designing large-scale fabricated signs and public art. Beginning with the client's goals and budget, I created concept presentations, location plans, 3D renderings, prototypes, and engineered shop drawings. Throughout a project's life-cycle, I communicated with clients, sales staff, vendors, and fabrication/assembly teams—pivoting and reframing as necessary to ensure finished products maximized value for clients and were produced efficiently with low waste and high impact. I explored new materials and fabrication techniques to expand capabilities and market reach while maintaining a thorough knowledge of tried-and-true build approaches.



Waypoint Sign Company

• 1 - 100 Employee

• Lead Designer

  • Jan 2016 - Apr 2018

  Waypoint was my first full-time design job. Working primarily with new construction in the business, retail, residential, and hospitality sectors, I developed sign location plans, message schedules, concept presentations and comprehensive wayfinding packages informed by architectural brand, site specifications and ADA regulations. In less than two years, I became the go-to designer for new and prospective clients, affording me the chance to challenge and improve my craft, deepen client partnerships, and consistently expand Waypoint’s repeat business project list.



Audi Seattle

• United States
• Retail
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Inventory Manager

  • Mar 2007 - Jan 2016

  By prioritizing demands from clients, sales staff, service departments, and shipping vendors, I managed the Audi fleet at a top dealership in the most prime/expanding market for a brand that has overtaken its competitors in market share. This required monitoring the location, condition, and delivery status of up to sixty $50K+ units a week, and directing two employees in order to ensure cars got to where they were needed on time and in perfect condition. Based on my experience with the company, I instituted changes that improved communication between all departments, allowing for real-time updates that maximized efficiency and sales and minimized loss.
