Currently working on various freelance opportunities with a variety of clients that include logo design, advertisement design, and brochure work. I have also worked on-site with Catholic Relief Services, Rosen Group and COPT as a graphic designer.
Etsy (La Casa de Azúl) | 2013 – 2018
I owned and operated an Etsy store independently for five straight years (2013-2018). I sold handmade jewelry and original artwork. I enjoyed running a business and had a flawless 5-star rating with over 2.5K sales. I used my own photography and sales tactics: from “flash sales” to discount codes and SEO, I made sure I kept the revenue coming in.
Enoch Pratt Free Library, Baltimore City | December 2019 – CURRENT
In 2019, I began a Part-Time Librarian’s Assistant postion at Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore City. My responsibilities grew from there. I assist with handling materials, reserving and finding books and research information, cataloguing and computer assistance. My love of books, especially in curating print materials (design) and cataloging, follow the same theme as the work I learned in the mid-1990’s at The American Institute of Physics. There I gained knowledge on how to maintain a small library database, and built a small statistics library for the department I worked in during the Summers of 1995 and 1996 in College Park, MD.
