Hi, I’m Tom. I run Proud Geek, an online bookshop from home, and I’ve grown its social media presence organically to over 130k followers. I handle building and maintaining the website, improving SEO, and running social media campaigns, as well as Canva-based design and customer service. The business now largely runs itself, giving me flexibility to pursue additional work as I currently only spend 10-12 hours a week fulfilling orders and updating the website. I’m looking to apply what I’ve learned to new roles outside my own business, continuing to develop my skills in digital marketing, content creation, and design, while collaborating with others and embracing new challenges.
