I graduated from the Advertising Design BA (hons) programme at the University of Salford in July 2014, with a wealth of experience in marketing, advertising and graphic design related roles. My level of experience in the marketing industry and my passion for branding allowed me to make a clear, concise decision about my future career goals. Now I am working as a Freelance Brand Specialist (from home in the UK), which means that I offer highly sought-after services to independent businesses or small companies that are trying to launch their new products and get their brand off the ground. This is achieved through extensive market research and the use of my marketing and design skills to create a brand identity for an independent business or small companies to confidently market itself. I design and produce professional logos, strap lines, posters, leaflets, magazines and online marketing campaigns for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Google +. Most of my design work is deployed through Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe After Effects and InDesign.
