DYALLEN EFENDI
Senior Design Manager II, Creative Private Brand Sam's Club Corporate Headquarters Bentonville, Arkansas [email protected] | 214 505 2181 University of Texas in Arlington. Class of 2003. Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Communication. Magna Cum Laude. In 1999, I moved to Dallas, Texas to continue my education at the University of Texas, Arlington. I graduated with Bachelor in Graphic Design and began my design journey with Gemmy Industries where I was introduced to the interesting world of retail packaging design. After being with the company for 10 years, I decided I wanted to expand my knowledge and landed with awesome companies such as SGS (Southern Graphic Systems), Propac Marketing, and then Pier 1 Imports. After working as Senior Packaging Concept Designer at Pier 1 Imports for 5 years, I continue my design journey as a Graphic Artist at a Pre-Press and Production company (SpeQtrum) in Fort Worth. Recently, I just relocated to Arkansas to continue my career as a Senior Manager II, designing Sam's Club Private brand. This journey has fostered my love for packaging design and photography but I have also found time to explore and strengthen my skills in other areas of design through freelance projects. Personally, I spend a lot of time with my pups (Shadow, Lola Ray, Razzie Pie, Finn and Oscar Mayer) and I love to check out other artists/designers' work through their social media and portfolio to learn new concepts and gain ideas. I have a soft spot for boxers and currently volunteer as a foster mom for North Texas Boxer Rescue, Saving Hope Rescue and Passport for Paws. Until this day, I fostered 25 dogs! |
