My resume stretches back to Marshall Field’s in its Hay Days where I designed for 36 of the most famous windows in the world and then to Nordstrom on Michigan Ave where I have accomplished incredible tasks I never imagined possible in a visual merchandising position. I am an artist and a native Chicagoan who has owned and operated two businesses while maintaining full time positions at these prestigious venues. My long-term goal is to use the skills and lessons I have gathered from my work experiences to open and operate my own art Mecca. My vision involves having a professional artists’ studio, a school for the arts, and a retail art gallery all in one building. I am a self-starter who sees the opportunity of employment as a continuation of my education into personal growth and direction.
