What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can manage social media end-to-end—strategy, engaging visuals, community management, and analytics reporting—to grow engagement, follower count, and conversions with a brand-focused, collaborative team.

I’m a creative, results-driven Social Media Manager and Graphic Designer with over five (5) years of experience managing online presence, driving engagement, and crafting compelling visual content. I focus on building brands through cross-platform content strategies that enhance visibility and foster audience growth.

In my recent roles, I developed and executed weekly and monthly content strategies that increased engagement by 35% within 6 months and helped drive a 30% increase in order inquiries via Instagram. I also monitor performance and translate analytics into better decisions using Google Analytics and Data Studio.

I bring strong creative execution—designing visually appealing graphics for campaigns, promotions, and brand assets using Canva and Adobe tools (Photoshop and Illustrator). I’ve led community management by responding to comments and DMs promptly, and I collaborate with influencers and vendors to expand reach and follower growth.

As a Lead Creative Graphic Designer, I managed a team of 3+ designers and improved on-time delivery and productivity from 32% to 75% while raising engagement and boosting website traffic. I’m energized by work that blends creativity, community trust, and measurable outcomes.
