EXPERIENCE
Inox Creative Metalworks
Metal Fabricator February 2008 to March 2022
• At Inox, when a project was assigned, my job was to see it through to the end product. I strategized and time managed the tasks and processes needed for each job, considering the design and details needed. My boss provided me with the specialty of making range hoods, as I was able to design, draw, bend, weld, and install them myself. Throughout my time at Inox I produced 50-100 Range Hoods, each completely different from the next, making them one-of-a-kind pieces of art. 2
