Experienced in customer relations, product management, inventory management including buying. I am also experienced in product design, with one pocket knife design produced and more in the works. Looking for an entry level buyer position. EXPERIENCE
KNIFE DESIGN AND AUTODESK INVENTOR CERTIFICATE THROUGH CTO, FEBRUARY 2023 — MARCH 2024
I left Serenity Knives to take classes with Varsity Tutors for 3D modeling softwares before switching to CTO - CAD Training Online to acquire a certificate in Autodesk Inventor. I was looking to create my own business in designing and selling pocket knives after having successfully worked with Kizer Knives to manufacture my first design, The Task.
SHOWROOM MANAGER, SERENITY KNIVES; HOUSTON, TEXAS — SEPT 2020- JAN 2023
Responsible for all product related tasks such as:
• Customer service and sales
• Receiving orders from customers for custom projects
• Buying responsibilities including inventory management
• Shipping/Receiving, invoicing, organization, storage, and display
• Product design - pocket knives and artisan fixed blades and kitchen cutlery including some jewelry
At Serenity Knives I was able to develop confidence in my customer relations skills, as I was the main employee who handled customer interactions. But more significantly for me was the experience as a representative of the company, communicating with product dealers and manufacturers and looking for new opportunities and or potential partners.
