Overview
ALFONSO ZAVALA
• I have worked as an architect, lighting designer, interior designer and graphic artist, all of which have played a key role in my ability to excel at retail design and branding. In my current role as Senior Designer with Westfield Corporation, I have leverage my skills and experiences to create innovative, aesthetically impactful and functional retail spaces for a broad scope of clients and brands across the retail landscape. I thrive in a fast paced, creative environment, and enjoy the challenges of developing brand identities and visual representations for a large, diverse client base, as well as developing, nurturing and/or growing a single brand. I believe it is my diverse background that has enabled me to excel in taking a brand and translating it into a retail location that is not just a retail space, but a consumer experience. • Attention to detail, deadline-oriented, design within budget, well versed in all design software and programs, sense of humor, inner desire to constantly become a better designer, professional and positive attitude, ability to take direction and criticism, and natural creative talent, are all skills that I pride myself with and I know will help me succeed as a member of your team.
