Ten years ago, Amanual Coleman was at something of a career crossroads. He had graduated with a degree in animation, but was having trouble finding an opening in the field. He had taken a job in fast food to make ends meet, but had recently proposed to his girlfriend and wanted to find something more stable. He decided to take a position as a cashier at Lowe’s.
Coleman worked his way up the company ladder, eventually landing a job on the Merchandising Service Team (MST), which helps store owners determine how best to display items. Recently, though, he added another line onto his resume: Halloween animatronic designer.
As part of his work on the MST, Coleman met members of the Lowe’s design team, which creates the Halloween and holiday decorations that take over stores in the second half of the year. He mentioned he was interested in doing design work for the company and told them about his art background. The team gave him a chance — and this year, Coleman’s first decoration is available in stores nationwide.
