Started concept retail business aimed at turning photos into unique, artistic products. I've learned that having a storefront doesn't mean people are going to walk in. Marketing and sales are very, very important.

• British Traditions: Architected and developed several systems, including two shop floor automation systems, cutlist automation software, and kitchen design software.
