For a bit of background, my most recent role at Akustus focused mainly on creating shop drawings for custom acoustic panels to make sure we met the client’s exact requirements for their workspace. Aside from the technical side, I was also involved in social media content and product promotions, working on visuals and short videos for the brand. I’ve been using AI tools in my workflow as well, mostly to speed up production and improve the overall quality of what I deliver. Before Akustus, I worked with KNP Headwear where I helped design the product website for their knit department. I also created a short promotional video for the brand, which gave me more experience in video editing and content creation. Let me know if you need anything else or if you want more samples. Happy to share more details anytime. Best, Justin
