HIRE ME
Digital business has come a long way in the last couple of decades. In the 90's, you could get away with a "webmaster" who would probably know how to do most things. Today, digital discipline relies on breadth of knowledge and ability to communicate ideas. To specialize in digital', you need to be an expert in a range of competencies. My career in digital started in 1991, when the Internet became available to the mainstream. I was 13 years old that year, and created my first website. Since then, I have been involved in hundreds of projects for global brands including being project lead on web development, UX/UI, content design, information design, analytics development, marketing and ad campaigns, research programs, augmented reality, strategy development, display media development, SEO/SEM execution, programmatic creative development, social media management, online public relations campaigns, and information design projects.

The ability to work well with teams is essential in creating a productive and fulfilling work culture. Being accountable to others, and empathizing with them as human beings striving to do well in their careers has been my approach to integrating with company culture.
In theory, this sounds simple enough, but interpersonal human relations are often complicated to navigate. Differences in ideas, personalities, and interests lead to communication challenges that can disrupt a team dynamic. I seek to avoid these issues by looking forward to the differences. By welcoming all personalities and enjoying the diversity in idea & opinion as a vital piece of the collaborative process.
Every person impacts the culture of a workplace, and my approach to this impact is to be honest, accountable, competent, friendly, and sincerely invested in the success of a company and the people around me.
Bryon is by far one of the sharpest individuals I have ever worked with. His digital prowess is matched only by his innate sense of humor. Which he always finds in times of need. During my time at Vladimir Jones, I watched him lead and build the digital team into a force to be reckoned with. Improving client retention and driving new business opportunities were among a few of his accomplishments. With that said, if you're looking for someone to lead the charge on Digital Strategy Bryon is the man for the job.
Bryon and I worked together for approximately five years at Collective International. During that time he was responsible for all aspects of the business related to online marketing and web development. And throughout those five years he did a great job. Despite being in a challenging business environment where he had to work on up to seven brands at the same time, Bryon consistently developed innovative and effective solutions on both the strategic and tactical level.
