Experience
CO-OP
Skills learned at the Job
With my time CO-OPing for SPA, A TRG Company, I spent time working with their Structural Design department to create and ideate designs for corrugated POP displays. The majority of my work was conducted in ArtiosCAD, CAPE, Illustrator, and Photoshop. Additional analog skills that I picked up were the use and maintenance of a Kongsberg cutting table.
Projects Worked On
While at SPA, I got to design a multitude of different displays featuring a wide range of well known brands. With some time, some of the displays that I got to work on might even be brought into production and sent out to stores all around the United States.

Skills learned at the job
While at Smurfit Westrock, I learned new skills such as how to use ArtiosCAD, Kongsberg cutting tables, and corrugated design theory.
Personal project
Most of my actual work isn't allowed to be shared publicly about what I had worked on at Smurfit Westrock. Instead, I began to work on a personal project that would both help to teach me more about how to use the ArtiosCAD software, as well as to better understand the capabilities and restrictions of corrugated paper.
