The role
Originally, the role was that of the guardian of the marketing website, handling web design and development. Over time, as the only designer on the marketing team, the role evolved to be more design-centric. Now, on top of designing the landing pages, I create all marketing visual assets on a daily basis, manage art direction for projects with freelancers, and ensure the branding look and voice are consistent with the design team.
Tech Stack
HTML, CSS (SCSS), JavaScript, Git. Recently have been wrangling with: ReactJS, Gatsby, ES6
Tools
Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects, Google Analytics, Figma, HubSpot

Other
- Part PPC Specialist for ~12 months, where I had to create and maintain Facebook and Instagram ad campaigns with quarterly budgets ranging from $300 to $15K. This role also includes conducting campaign optimization and implementing retargeting strategies, event tracking and reporting in Google Analytics
- Learned Adobe After Effects for simple animations. This was eventually required even if my primary tool was HTML and CSS due to the lack of options to export HTML/CSS into high-quality GIFs or videos.
- Learned more about ad campaigns, even if I wasn't a fan of the process (or the platform); there is a certain satisfaction in successfully getting an ad down to $0.01 per click.
- I got a MacBook, which then kick-started my learning of using Sketch. I am a Figma convert now, though.
