Ran projects from conception to completion, including the management of a few graphic and web design projects.

Managed all the projects from concept to fabrication. Accountable for all the production information, estimates, timing and supervision of the manufacturing process. Developed excellent communication skills in dealing with clients. Responsible for several key projects for AutoRibeiro, being the most relevant "Ambulance Control+", which was achieved by addressing the client and presenting the idea.
