Business owner, Designer, and Hatter

I am a business owner, designer, and Hatter. I design and make custom hats for Zito Hat Co. I love to create things and hat making combines my love of silversmithing, leather work, fashion, functionality and exceptional customer service all into one! Making a hat for someone is the same as tattooing a person, its a collaboration between both the artist and client to design something extremely personal that will last a lifetime. Establishing life-long clientele is one of my passions and is something that I excell at. 

I am also a retail expert. I have experience excelling in high volume, fast-paced retail settings while being able to lead a team to achieve sales targets. I have a proven ability to train employees to maximize their sales potential as well as analyze and assess a store's product displays and layout and adjust it in order to maximize sell through and optimize $/square foot.

I am also a passionate skateboarder. Ive been skateboarding for 12 years and I will never stop. Im very familiar with the action sports industry and I have the ability to successfully navigate through it.

I am also very into building  and riding motorcycles. I am on my fourth motorcycle build and I love to work on them, ride them, and go on trips with my friends! 

I design and make completely one-of-a-kind, hand made, full custom hats from scratch in Cardiff, California. I am responsible for all aspects of my business including my website, branding, design, production, shipping, social media and customer service!

As the Assistant store manager I was responsible for the entire store, all of its products, up to 10 employees including 4+ managers. I  recruited, trained and coached all employees on product knowledge, operations sales techniques, and customer service with a proven track record for maximizing sales potential. I was responsible for overseeing all shipments were processed quickly and efficiently, merchandising any new product out onto the sales floor. I was responsible for all daily operations as well as overseeing and completing all special projects in a timely manner. I was regularly expected to employ expert time management skills in order to ensure the store ran smoothly and all sales targets were met. In this role I also managed to be the top seller in the entire company, across 7 stores nationwide for the time I was employed. I was sent to open two stores while employed as well as help train any staff hired for these stores.
