The role of Area Manager entails monitoring of the entire build-out of The Armory Show, both in quality control, prioritization, problem management and dictation. I am largely responsible for ensuring a cosmetically beautiful fair presentation but additionally an accurate and meticulous representation of the blueprint. I then monitor all of deinstall, aid security and shippers into clearing out all properties in a safe and productive manner.

As an Ombudsman I liaise between show management, exhibitors, third party vendors, and contractors to create an orderly and proper channel of information and direction. I address any and all questions and issues from dealers, patrons and vendors and ensure they are dealt with through the proper measures. In ways I assist all parties in the fair to result in a successful presentation.

I handled one half of the creative department along with the Sock Designer. I also handled all media relations for press and social media. I managed any product pulls for online and print publications including, but not limited to, Vogue (Germany, US, España), Interview Magazine, and Elle Magazine. Plus any pulls for events/gala's and for celebrity public appearances.

In addition to that I ran the company's social media platforms. Which included creating and photographing original content, running contests and giveaways, and managing growth and user outreach.

Lastly, I also created all the graphic marketing content: collateral, banners, web-touts, advertisements and packages etc.

The program not only concerned with practical visual application across many different disciplines, but also fine-tuning a special approach to scholarly research and studio work. Catering to the idea of the “Renaissance Person” who could write, read and do.
