Manager VirtuDesign | Design and branding agency for startups
-
Jan 2016 - 2018
VirtuDesign is a design and branding agency helping Virtuzone's clients with brand design, websites, motion graphics and a whole host of creative design ideas. MY ROLEMy experience has taught me that good design is not created in a moment of inspiration or a bubble. It is an iterative process requiring collaboration between multiple teams and your end users. It is easy to get attached to initial design solutions and forgo research and testing but this rarely works. First solutions are often wrong because in the early stages it is hard to know enough about the problem you are attempting to solve. It is important to first answer the 5 Ws (Who, What, Where, When, and Why) before tackling the How. At VirtuDesign we help startup and small business in the following areas:• Branding and Visual Identity• Marketing Collaterals and Infographics• Landing Pages and Emailers• Websites• Motion Graphics and Videos• Interactive Presentations• e-Books
