Nicole Glynn’s Summary
I am fledgling graphic designer skilled in both web and print design, with excellent research and client skills. My design work includes websites, posters, identity packages, books, and more. I am a highly-motived, detail-oriented young designer who is not afraid to push the limits of my own experience in order to deliver precisely what the client needs. I am able to rapidly integrate new knowledge into the project at hand and troubleshoot any and all technological quirks inherent in the design process.

Cashier
The Home Depot
(Public Company; HD; Retail industry)
October 2008 — Present (1 year 3 months)
As a cashier, my primary function is to man the register. I am the first associate the customer see's when they come in and (unless the propane machine screws up again!) the last one they see when they leave. I have developed some serious diplomatic skills in this position, and am constantly required to solve various (sometimes strange) customer problems very quickly.

Chester Design Collaborative
(Graphic Design industry)
September 2008 — May 2009 (9 months)
The Chester Design Collaborative is a student design group at Chester College of New England responsible for on-campus design projects (event posters, brochure and web site updates, etc.).
I founded the group in my senior year at Chester with the help of one of our design professor's and several other students with the goal of creating a fully-functional graphic design studio servicing real-world clientele at Chester College, as a means of providing students with an on-campus internship.
I was the president of the group my senior year, and aided in securing 5,100 of student activities funding - the distribution of which was based on a student vote - for the organization by organizing advertising material including posters, postcards, and internet marketing via facebook, myspace, livejournal, and email messages. -
