Display Carpenter

As a freelance carpenter in visual merchandising for home products at WestPoint Home in Rockefeller Center, New York City, I collaborated with supervisors and designers to create compelling in‑house showroom displays for buyer’s market events. I built custom props and backdrops that brought merchandise to life and supported the overall visual strategy. I worked closely with designers to ensure each presentation was executed with precision, and I assisted photographers during product shoots for magazines and online features. A dependable team player, I also supported fellow carpenters and construction staff to keep projects running smoothly and on schedule.

Assistant

I managed a wide range of administrative and clerical responsibilities to keep daily office operations running smoothly. My most significant contribution was leading the modernization of an outdated filing system by migrating it to an online database. This new networked system allowed staff to access server files quickly and reliably, greatly improving efficiency. By working closely with managers and social workers, I helped streamline their workflows, strengthen team coordination, and support them in meeting their goals.
WEB DESIGN In today’s digital world, your website must look great and work smoothly on every device. Responsive design ensures your content automatically adapts—resizing, shifting, or simplifying—to deliver an effortless user experience. Before building your site, it’s important to define your brand, goals, budget, and audience. Whether you want a visually rich design with graphics and animation or a clean, minimalist layout, I can help create a site that aligns with your vision. A strong logo is essential. It communicates your identity, sets you apart, and must perform well both online and in print. Thoughtful design ensures your brand feels cohesive, memorable, and effective across all platforms.
