Experience

• 05/2012-05/2013 GRAPHIC DESIGNER AT WALMART.COM - SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO

At Walmart.com I was the designer in charge of six core departments of Walmart's website, including their

homepage. I designed all sorts of ad-banners and front page advertisements, some of which are still being

featured today at Walmart.com. My category departments were: Homepage, Beauty, Health, Pharmacy,

Pets, and Grocery. This was a very deadline driven position. Attention to detail, prioritization of work, and

file organization are some of the skills I sharpened from this experience.
