Kelly Ferry’s Experience

Communications Specialist
Kelly Ferry
(Writing and Editing industry)
March 2007 — Present (2 years 9 months)
I have merged my background in graphic design and my passion for the written word into this part-time, freelance venture. I write strategic web copy, creative web content and collateral business materials to build brand identity and drive sales for my clients. I bring the added bonus of being able to design the final print or web product, eliminating the need to work with yet another contractor.
