I do a lot of different types of design here, such as logo design, apparel, promotional items, website design & social media posts. I even get the chance to work on the design side of client's entire branding & marketing process. We work with clients on mostly a local level, but have some national exposure as well.

Last Free Souls Apparel is a clothing company branded for those who choose to live their own lives. Last Free Souls are described as individuals who live life outside of the norm & aren't willing to accept the rules that society has imposed upon them, in order to achieve their own goals and find their own enlightenment. My experience here started with an idea I conjured up while still in high school, realizing I had a talent for graphic design. I then took that, with the combination of my previous social media marketing skills to create a clothing line. We initially started selling by word-of-mouth in our high school, but eventually moved to eCommerce in order to scale the business. After some trail & error testing a few different online marketplace platforms & printing/clothing suppliers, we finally settled on having Shopify as our base, and bought our own domain name.Once we had gone digital, we realized that we could cut back on our operating costs, by using automation. Since then, all of our business has been done online, in sync with our website (lastfreesouls.com) and our suppliers for clothing & other products. This leaves me to mostly handle just the designing, as well as marketing the brand. Such as social media promotions & promoting influencers for our brand. I carry no personal inventory, but am still able to get samples to see how our products look before they hit our store, so I am assured of quality products.

This was a side project that I started, not really knowing exactly how I wanted it to play out. I knew how to do social media marketing before starting this venture, so I figured I could make a little money off of it. We ended up getting a few clients, which actually created a bit of income for me, doing this.The process started by purchasing a bot that worked with multiple social networks, I wanted as many features as possible, so it wasn't cheap. I then started marketing the business itself in order to start gaining some clients. Once a contract was signed with the client, we'd get general information from them (some of their influencers, niches, brands, hashatgs, etc.). We'd use that information to cast a net to target similar accounts or hashtags, that would boost our clients engagement in that specific niche, from real accounts. At the end of every month (or payment period), we'd send our clients a performance report & collaborate with them in order to improve our targeting. Our methods actually worked extremely well, as our clients showed great growth & garnered their own opportunities due to it. The business did eventually fade out though, as this side project lost some relevance due other projects I had been working on.

This was a independent B2B sales job where I played a role helping small-business owners save hundreds of dollars a year on their credit card processing costs. We offered multiple different options for business owners to cut back on costs, such as POS Systems, Chip Card Readers, Time Clocks & more. These devices helped increase employee efficiency and customer satisfaction during the transaction process. I helped to implement new innovative technologies to streamline the sales process for the business, where such devices were barely on the market yet.

This is where I started what I call my "career path" & found my spark and ultimately, passion for business.
