I oversee all design needs, crafting impactful eBooks, white papers, brochures, sales decks, and maintaing the website. I led the recent company rebrand, designing a cohesive brand identity (logo, colour palette, etc.) and developing and launching the new company website. This new brand identity permeated all marketing materials, from sales collateral to social media graphics.

My skills extend beyond static design - I conceptualise, animate, and voice-over motion graphic sales and marketing videos. I also, designed and built the UI/UX for the in-house app (Taskinova) using HTML & CSS, and launched its marketing campaign with a website, video, and automated email creation. Additionally, I manage the company's LinkedIn presence (700+ followers) and ensure smooth printing of company and conference materials (notebooks, pens, etc.).
