Extended CV & Past Projects

;

$content = [

These are my current portfolio projects, freelance SEO and marketing work during a career break after my postgraduate program.

After finishing my Bachelor’s with Honours in Computer Science, I went on an endeavour to learn more about computing education and building my digital communication skillset. My portfolio tends to focus on technical aspects, however after the PGCE in Computing Education, I began to have a better understanding of scholarly practices.

I took a 3 month long break to reconnect with offline practices such as verbal communication, extended research methods, and working as a freelance videographer and SEO marketing specialist.

The career break allowed me to experiment more with my previous UAL Level 3 Extended Diploma in Media Production and Technology. This meant that during the summer, I managed multiple clients on TikTok, Instagram and other platforms.

Overall, letting creativity loose after my personal UI and UX endeavours was amazing. This meant alongside the videography, marketing and content shoots, I could take a break from the web development technology portfolio.

Career Break & Illustrations

During the break from university, I dedicated a significant amount of time to honing my skills in both digital and traditional illustrations, alongside various graphic design commissions. This period was not only a chance to apply what I had learned in my studies but also an opportunity to explore my creativity in new and exciting ways. Each project I took on challenged me to push my boundaries and refine my artistic style, allowing me to develop a diverse portfolio that showcased my versatility.

In addition to my artistic pursuits, I also focused on preparing for the transition to full-time work. This preparation was multifaceted, encompassing not just technical skills but also crucial soft skills. I learned the importance of time management, the ability to meet deadlines, and effective communication, particularly when collaborating with clients or fellow creatives on projects. These experiences necessitated that I embodied both a self-starter and a team player, balancing my independence in pursuing personal projects while also being receptive to feedback and input from others. This duality of skills not only prepared me for the professional environment but also instilled a sense of responsibility and work ethic that I carry with me into my future endeavours.
