Hi, I’m Paul! I’m a designer and marketer with over a decade of professional experience. I’ve had a passion for all things computers and design since a young age, and I’ve built skills across graphic and web design, branding, email marketing, social media, UI/UX, app design, SEO, analytics, paid advertising, video editing, podcasting, and AI across a range of industries, startups, universities, professional athletes, and many other small projects. One highlight was simultaneously launching a redesigned website and a major trade show booth for HST Pathways during a period of acquisitions, unifying branding and marketing materials. The effort paid off with doubled web traffic, a 60% increase in organic search, and strong SEO gains across 50+ industry terms. Most recently, I co-founded SocialCrowd, an employee incentive startup that has raised over $4M in venture funding and secured customers like the Milwaukee Bucks, Starbucks, Motorola, Sonic Drive-In, Panda Express, Shake Shack, and P.F. Chang’s.
