-I am a member of a team of 8 other designers which has helped improve my teamwork skills.

Volunteer Experience

-Help engage with the young children at Kingdom House and try to make them laugh and be happy.

-Prepare food bags and other goodies such as Birthday baggies for people who had children going to Kingdom House that were less fortunate.

-Overall make sure everyone was happy while I was visiting and making sure that I was putting off a positive aroma to make the people at Kingdom House happy.

-Help out in any way I could by organizing numerous items and moving heavy objects so there was more room for the kids to play and so it was easier to see the inventory.

-I had to be in charge of many kids at a time-varying from ages 4 to 13.

-Over a week, I was able to develop many strong relationships with campers and their parents, which helped the overall mood of the camp heighten and be less stressful.

-I worked over six hours a day doing many different tasks from helping kids find where they are going to playing board games with the kids and teaching them more about games they had never played before.

-While at camp there were over 120 kids under our watch and I had to make sure none of them got hurt, or anything wrong happened to them.

-Assist sorting various items for the Pantry from canned food to hygiene products.

-As a team of 15 people, we sorted through hundreds of tubs of mixed-up items and organized all of the items based on what they were.

-Overall we helped the Pantry a lot and were told it that what we did would have taken other volunteers days to do.

-We were there for about 6 hours and worked non stop to make sure we could get all of the items sorted before we left, which we were successful in doing.

Testimonials

𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐌𝐜𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐲 (𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚, 𝐍𝐁𝐀 𝟐𝐊 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞)
"I commissioned Dane to create a PowerPoint presentation for the inaugural Business of Sports Symposium, an event hosted by the NBA and MLB at Madison Square Garden in New York.

At short notice he was able to produce an excellent slide deck, incorporating the NBA 2K League brand and telling a clear visual story.

He was responsive to several last minute content additions and made it work without hassle, leaving the easy part to me!

I'd highly recommend Dane for design work and look forward to working with him again in future."
