Helped companies increase their RPMs by analyzing their marketing strategies to figure out what worked and what wasn't. Taught clients on social media techniques, designed and wrote copy for advertisements, and created branding packages from scratch. I was known for a uniquely creative style that was very art forward. I also provided editorial illustrations to accompany news articles, packaging, and advertisements.
