Tell us more about your experience at OLIVER HOME.
"My experience has been wonderful and I consider myself very lucky to work with such good people. I have a great mentor, Suzanne, who is teaching me the ropes to the business and the industry. I’m staying and continuing to work with them as their showroom designer. I also designed their catalog, business cards, and signage. I maintain their website, as well as being introduced to product development. I have been so fortunate and I am so grateful for the opportunities. Below are examples of showroom styling and graphic design I have completed."
