  Apple

  Nov 2011 - Aug 2013

  Specialist

  Guided people on making the right decisions with their purchases while working in a fast paced environment. The busyness and chaos of the store can be a deterrent for people to come in so I tried to have a fun time with my customers while ensuring that they were making the right decisions. In addition to my sales role, I assisted with Apple Camp where we did various activities such as teach kids to capture video and use iMove to edit their film.

  Communication Designer

  As a freelance designer, I've worked with clients that are pushing the boundaries of design and technology. I've helped with the development of Biofabricate—a design, biology, and technology conference that occurs annually in New York City. I've also helped with the rebrand of a startup company called Modern Meadow. They specialize in producing cultured meats and synthetic leather. The rebrand was to move them away from the cold, sterile, and science feel that was being communicated to a more friendly and environmentally conscious brand. Show less
