I'm Mzi, a digital content designer that likes doing design stuff, whether it’s creative content strategy, user centric design and overall digital customer journey experience, I try my best just to know about anything and everything in the realm of business design marketing – the tools and rules out there, ready and available to use and manipulate in order to take any business into greater heights because of pure marketing and design genius, while also gaining experience through thoughtful strategy & execution.
As a digital designer, bellow these are some of the website pain points that I can help you sort out:

-No coherent Content Strategy to meet your Digital Ecosystem Strategy.

-No social media presence, resulting in no brand awareness publicly.
Your objectives might not be met because of the above web pain points… and in turn this might affect your sales targets, maybe I can help with the bit of knowledge I’ve gained over my years as a designer.
