AT ANGELINE GUIDO DESIGN I PERFORMED MANY TASKS AS AN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNER, FROM CONCEPTUALIZING DESIGN SCHEMES TO DEVELOPING FULL SETS OF CONSTRUCTION DOC UMENTS AND WORKING IN A TEAM TO EXECUTE THESE PLANS. AS PART OF MY POSITION I WAS REQUIRED TO PERFORM AS A PROJECT MANAGER AND SO, COLLABORATE WITH CONTRAC TORS, VENDORS AND MANUFACTURERS TO CARRY OUT THE HIGH-END DESIGNS WE CREATE. A LARGE PART OF MY ROLE ALSO INVOLVED DEALING WITH CLIENTS DIRECTLY AND ACTING AS A POINT OF CONTACT AND A CONSULTANT TO THEM THROUGH OUT THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS. I EXPERIENCED THE FULL GAMUT OF THE INTERIOR DESIGN BUSINESS DURING MY TIME AT ANGELINE GUIDO DESIGN AS I WORKED MY WAY UP FROM PART TIME INTERN/WAREHOUSE MANAGER TO DESIGNER. I HAVE PERFORMED BUSINESS ACCOUNTING, LOGISTICS WORK AND HAVE WORKED ON PROJECTS AT EVERY LEVEL, FROM ASSISTANT TO PROJECT MANAGER. IN SHORT, MY TIME AT ANGELINE GUI DO DESIGN HELPED ME INCREASE MY PROBLEM SOLVING AND CLIENT RELATION SKILLS. ALSO, IT HAS STRENGTHENED MY ABIL ITY TO WORK AS PART OF A TEAM OR ALONE WITH LITTLE SUPER VISION AND MY ABILITY TO ENACT EFFICIENCY WHILE PIVOTING BETWEEN MANY DIVERSE TASKS ACROSS VARIOUS PROJECTS.
