Allison taylor byers
A Brief Synopsis
Hello!
My name is Allison Byers.
As of Summer 2018, I am actively seeking employment opportunities within:
-
business development
-
acquisition/project management
-
analytical strategic growth
I am aiming to combine my skill set and multi-faced background of client relations, financial consulting/management and technology
in accordance with my experience in commercial design development.
From January 2014 through late May 2015, I served as the financial, project
and client relationship manager alongside the principal owner of a conceptual architectural/visualization firm located in the Chicago loop (LaSalle St/Wacker Dr)
This company creates top visual content for key players in the commercial real estate market, consistently producing unparalleled marketing material nationwide for developers, investors and architects.
Engaging in these roles has solidified my passion for taking on critical responsibilities tailored to client relations, internal and external project management, large scale/long-term cost analysis and overall financial budgeting. I have a multifaceted background in several unique though extremely specific, critical roles regarding the areas listed above, and I am confident my intrinsic experience in handling all obligations for a 13-employee 2D/3D Visualization firm while facilitating both artist teams and clients’ needs/accommodations would attribute a company in need of fulfilling a role with needed experience in such areas.
I welcome the potential opportunity to contribute my skills to your team.
