American Crafts

While every job has its unique challenges, my time as a Purchaser at American Crafts stands out as a memorable chapter for all the wrong reasons. Imagine juggling an endless list of craft supplies and trying to keep track of inventory in a sea of glitter and stickers. It was a bit like playing a never-ending game of Whack-a-Mole, but with purchase orders.

The role taught me invaluable lessons about resilience and organization, albeit in a setting where 'creative chaos' took on a whole new meaning. Despite the challenges, I managed to turn every obstacle into an opportunity for growth.
