I am based in Calgary AB, Canada where I work as a Freelance Graphic Designer, Writer/Editor, Blogger, and Part-time Mobile Shiatsu Practitioner.Throughout my career as a comprehensive communicator using graphic design (plus production), writing, and editing skills for print and the web, collaboration occurred with many clients who had diverse needs for advertising their businesses including independent, small and medium businesses, large corporations, and NGOs. Brand identities were communicated in traditional and digital media environments using visual and literal applications. I’m adept at research, reviewing, proofing, copywriting, transcription, revising documents, image editing, web maintenance, and I have written and edited SEO articles for small businesses with eCopywriters. In 2018, I worked as a Graphic Designer with clients in Canada and the U.S. remotely. I freelanced as a Ghostwriter for the US-based marketing company Genoo and their clients where I wrote about various topics related to marketing and business. Additionally, as a Bitcoin/Blockchain Writer, I wrote for the European-based blockchain news outlet CoinIdol. I have been following the Bitcoin and blockchain movement since early 2009.Marketing skills were acquired from 2011 to 2015 when I worked for Guarantee RV that involved promoting commercial products such as RVs. As a Blogger, interviews were conducted with representatives of top RV manufacturers in the U.S. and Canada along with RVers to endorse the RV lifestyle. As well, I did photography for the Guarantee RV blog where photo editing was one of the tasks although writing and marketing were the major roles of the job. As a Graphic Designer, I set up the Guarantee RV blog using my graphic design skills. The blog had a domestic and international audience.When I was in between jobs in the early 1990s, I became a Certified Shiatsu Therapist. After witnessing my co-workers in the graphic design industry suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, headaches, shoulder, and back pain, I assisted by teaching them Self-Shiatsu and offered Shiatsu treatments. For the last 30 years, being a Part-time Shiatsu Therapist has enriched my career as I have given Shiatsu treatments to people from all walks of life.My preference is to work full-time or part-time with companies in a freelance or contract role where all of my skills can be utilized based on a mutually beneficial relationship with goodwill, creative innovative thinking, integrity, respect, and collaboration as core values. Also, I have my EIN so that I can work with U.S. clients
Listed skills include Graphic Design, Adobe Creative Suite, Wordpress, Photography, and 33 others.
