*****@*******.***
I am a Creative Thinker with 20 plus years of expertise in design, construction and project management. I have first built and grown a scenic design and production company that created thousands of innovative sets for the photo and broadcast industries. Next, as an Interactive Creative Director, I have conceived, designed and completed market leading websites for major brands with a focus on ecommerce and end user experience. In my last venture, I have designed and rebuilt five townhouses in Harlem to bring new life to old and tired structures. I am now working at Lowe’s in New Jersey, as a Project Specialist – Exteriors. One of my clients has refered to me as “the peoples advocate”.
I enjoy conceiving new ideas and managing projects that put my considerable creative talent and management skills to work.
