Lia Tomco’s Experience

ARTIST
Fire Kitsune Productions
(Fine Art industry)
2004 — Present (5 years )
This is my artist business. I am the soul proprietor and creator of all of my works and industries...
I am freelance at the moment, accepting job inquiries to my unique style. I design, envision, and create all my pieces.
You will see, by visiting my web affiliates that I am interested in quite a few areas of art, especially the natural and supernatural.
I also do nature photography, and I am quite interested in artists' jobs all around the world, not just my backyard.
Feel free to link me, query me, use me.
Remember,
I DO NOT ORPHAN MY ART.
I (C) my art for a reason!
I eat art thieves for breakfast, with coffee and toast.
Thank you. -
Green Officer, Party Cooridnator, SALES
Lush Handmade Cosmetics
(Retail industry)
August 2007 — May 2008 (10 months)
Lush Handmade cosmetics is a green (and with good conscience) company that specializes in bath, skin, and haircare that is freshly made, and eco-friendly. AND it works.
View their homepage for more info.
When I worked there, I was in sales, and we all had to know every single ingredient that went into every little product sold. We had to know the back-story as well. The pleasure if working there was that it was very hands-on, and we had to demonstrate to every guest just what every product did, making them feel connected to the products, and to feel like we were all in one big skin care party. The stores are few in location, to ensure all products are fresh.
As Green Officer, I had to make sure everything in store was run copacetic with the company's STRICT and honest green guidelines. I won't lie. I loved that. We had parties at least 3 times a month to involve all new and old customers. I had to invent/plan those. -
Design and Personal Asst.
Lisa and Steve Clarke
(Design industry)
April 2005 — July 2005 (4 months)
I traveled with the Clarkes to help in interior design with their Florida home. I was fundamental in choosing everything from the sconces to the counter tops, the hose colors from outside and in, and all furniture.
I was a personal assistant to Lisa Clarke for 4 years prior to this, off and on. I did everything from running errands to aiding in personal health care.
