Marketing Coordinator

RIKB Design + Build / Warwick, R.I.

 A Rising Star in Marketing Design: 

I took an interest in interior design at a young age. I was constantly rearranging and redecorating my room, but I never thought that would be a job opportunity. I started my career in the family business: plastics molding. Since then, I’ve traveled down a few different career paths, all providing marketing experience. In 2020, I was finally ready and able to make the jump into the world of remodeling.

I was hired three days before our state shutdown for COVID.

I went into my interview at RIKB with a plethora of ideas, including a proposed rebranding: new logo, new name, new colors, and a complete digital marketing overhaul—which is a bold thing to suggest on a first interview. Coincidentally, this was something the owners had wanted to do for a long time, and it was finally the right time. It was one of the first projects I worked on. Of course, I was hired three days before our state shutdown for COVID, so it was a unique first project.
