Social Media Manager Graphic Designer | IT Background
Benguet
Hi, I'm Aron — a Social Media Manager and Graphic Designer from the Philippines with an IT background that most designers don't have. For the past few months I've run the full social media presence for a boutique shop, handling everything from product photography to daily posts across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok — usually 25-30 pieces of content a month, all on a content calendar I built myself so nothing gets posted last-minute. I shoot, design, and post, so clients don't need to hire a separate photographer. Before that, I worked in MIS and admin support for a government office (CHED-CAR), where I ended up building two internal systems in PHP and Django on my own initiative — not because it was in my job description, but because I saw a manual process that needed fixing. That's pretty much how I work: I notice what's missing and I go build it, whether that's a content calendar, a database, or a design system. I also freelance as a graphic designer, creating branding materials, social graphics, and marketing content in Canva and Photoshop, and I've handled multiple client projects at once without needing much hand-holding. What I bring: Social media management across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok — strategy, content, and daily execution Graphic design and short-form video for brands and product marketing Admin/MIS support: data entry, document management, records accuracy Reliable, deadline-driven, and quick to pick up new tools I hold a BS in Information Technology from Benguet State University and I'm a fast learner who takes ownership of the work — happy to hop on a call to talk through what you need.

Here's the responsibilities-and-impacts breakdown rewritten in first person, like you're actually talking about your own experience — you can pull from this for interviews, a portfolio "About" section, or LinkedIn: On the boutique shop role: "At NateDane Boutique Shop, I was basically a one-person marketing team. I shot the product photos, designed the graphics, made short videos, wrote the captions, scheduled everything, and answered customer messages myself. I built a content calendar so the brand never went quiet on social media — which matters a lot for a small shop, since disappearing from the feed for even a week can hurt visibility. Because I was also handling customer replies, I wasn't just posting content, I was directly part of turning interest into actual sales.

This was more behind-the-scenes work — formatting reports, validating data across office databases, and making sure information requests didn't stall. It's not flashy, but I took it seriously because government offices run on accurate paperwork, and errors or delays there create real problems down the line. My job was to make sure the people above me had reliable information when they needed it.

As a freelancer, I wasn't just designing — I was running my own small operation. I managed multiple clients and deadlines at once with no one checking my work. One thing I got good at was asking the right questions upfront, before starting a project, which cut down how many revision rounds I needed. That meant faster turnaround for clients and fewer headaches for me.
