Mar 2019 - Oct 2020
I was initially contracted to Ctrlroom to oversee their managed marketing with the intention of leveraging customer engagement to activate and grow revenue. Over time this role developed to include more strategic initiatives where I investigated further revenue-focused opportunities for the business. I also began development of a small-medium enterprise strategy for the business which would see duality of the product application between enterprise and small business. Through exposure to a knowledgeable product executive, engineers and data analysts I learned an abundance in my time at Ctrlroom. Show less

Partner, Digital Designer

Jun 2016 - Jun 2018
I started Fresh Design as a partnership with a capable website developer as we sought to amalgamate our services into a small agency offering. I was responsible for attracting and retaining new business, managing the administrative function as well as fulfilling all digital design related needs. In my role at Fresh Design I sought and brought onboard contract designers to assist with ongoing client requirements and expand on the business offering.
