Ah man, I've been searching for the right job after leaving my old job as assistant director of marketing at Fordham University last year. I specialize in video, illustration, logo/branding, web and social. It seems like getting a foot in the door anywhere is almost impossible without a referral these days. I'm looking to make some connections with other designers and maybe even someone that can refer me for the right position.

Looking to trade tips and tricks as well!

Sounds like a great skillset for early stage startups that needs someone who can do a little bit of everything. Product, visual/growth, branding etc

Me personally, I would double down on web and apps if you think that’s interesting, since they pay more in the long run. With this direction it’s hard to showcase other skills that might not pertain to UI/UX work, because it’ll throw off recruiters and hiring managers perception of what you’re looking for.

this is where I think things are heading too, definitely going to comb through my portfolio to add more web work.

Put a portfolio together and go to portfolio reviews.

I can help giving you my opinion! 😬

It’s a great combination of skills for an early stage company, but will be looked at poorly at medium to large companies as they’re looking for specialization. It may be worth positioning yourself in more of a specialty to help with getting those initial interviews. Best of luck!
