      Graphic Designer

      I have been a freelance graphic designer, illustrator, and digital marketer for over 12 years. I've picked up these skills I have by helping clients achieve their goals. My understanding of the complete process came from clients requesting more complex projects throughout the past decade. Creating nothing from something pixel by pixel is an enjoyment that I cannot articulate into words, it is more than a passion it is a way of life.

      Store Manager

      As a Store Manager with Rent-A-Center, I provided new and used brand-named furniture, appliances, computers and electric brands, such as Ashley, Sony, Whirlpool Corporation, Dell and HP. Offering a rent-to-own model, allowing thousands of individuals the ability to purchase name brand products with small initial payments and no long term obligation. Customers can upgrade or downgrade items any time while they are renting. My time at Rent-A-Center, I not only served my city faithfully, gaining a rapport with over a thousand customers on rent, but effectively help grew the branch to over a million dollar revenue store multiple years. I could not have achieved this if it wasn't for my wonderful co-workers, day in and day out, thick and thin. Rent-A-Center is a way of life, once Rent-A-Center, always Rent-A-Center. Show less
