Smith Southwestern, Inc. Work Values

Daily Duties at Smith Southwestern, Inc.:

Souvenir products were designed for specific regions and/or states. My responsibility was to research the target region, create detailed 2-D or 3-D illustrations, instructions and material specifications for production, review prototypes created by the factories and make recommendations. My specialty was 3-D product development because I could illustrate a new product with free-hand illustration from numerous vantage points that enabled the craftsmen to precisely sculpt the molds used for mass production. I was also responsible for creating the annual templates for engagement and pocket calendars with all the correct holidays, moons, boxes, etc. All designers were required to use my templates to avoid oversights and typographical errors.

What they like about Smith Southwestern, Inc.:

You highly value a work environment built on a formal structure, rules, and regulations. You do not enjoy the unpredictability of shifting priorities and deadlines that upset your routine. You require and enjoy direction, input and accountability as part of your work environment. You have a strong need to participate in making key decisions and feel left out if your superiors or co-workers do not seek your input when making decisions. You thrive on providing good customer service to both internal or external customers, and doing so makes you feel good.
