Aki User
@akif16
People-driven creative leader skilled in design, coaching, and project delivery.
What I'm looking for
I am a versatile, people-focused professional with experience in creative direction, freelance video editing, sales and team leadership. I founded and ran a fashion label, MostLikeIt, overseeing design, marketing and customer engagement, and I deliver polished visual content using industry tools.
As a freelance video editor I mastered pacing, music integration, sound design and thumbnail creation using Adobe Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator and Canva to improve visibility and brand alignment for clients. I also coach rugby, designing training drills and fostering teamwork, communication and fitness in a positive environment.
I bring strong leadership, customer-service orientation and project-management skills, and I’m committed to continuous learning — currently pursuing a Google UX Design Professional Certificate and a Business degree while holding diplomas in sports coaching and hospitality.
