Amber Gordon

I am a highly detail-oriented individual versed in greeting a high-volume of customers and recommending merchandise based on individual requirements. I thoroughly enjoy building rapport and relationships with new and returning customers through remembering their regular orders or asking about shared interests, as well as working closely and well with the team I am a part of. I have many organizational strengths, and and do well completing cash register transactions and maintaining accurate records of all transactions. My hope is to be gainfully employed in a positive and vibrant work environment.

I've been painting using watercolour and acrylic paint, as well as drawing detailed pen and ink sketches for the past five years. I've incorporated the watercolours into other mediums such as my embroidery pieces as well. Working at the Clay Cafe has offered me a different paint method that has been very unique to experiment with as well and is something I really enjoy!
