Cutting Department Lead

Top Management

I'm a passionate creative who contributes personally and commercially to the visual language of our culture, takes ownership and works diligently on assignments. Able to ask critical questions and digest information resulting in successful, impactful designs from big picture ideas. Experienced in managing production of assets used to market consumer goods and services. Understands budgetary restraints and skilled at nding opportunities to
maximize profitability.
I've been skateboarding for 19  years, snowboarding for only a few less than that, and coming from a family of Southern California surf family, I could stand on a surfboard almost before I could walk.  I love skateboarding and it's culture. I am  passionate about preserving  it's culture while pushing the visual identity of said culture. I also went to college and studied Graphic Design and Photography with the hope to combine these skills with my love of  skateboarding, snowboarding, and surfing.

Develops S.O.P.’s for inter-department structure and work flow in concert with improving deadlines and managing needs of other
departments. Works hand in hand with the engineering department to develop working prototypes of custom fixture
designs. Responsible for the production of the majority of assets in high profile projects.

-Sought out resources and taught myself machines and techniques of cutting with which I had no previous experience.
-Promoted within 6 months from hire to department lead who oversees and directs work of a six person department.
-Instituted an inventory management system to reuse scrap material, saving the company upwards of $5,000 a month.
