Profile Refinement Notes & Suggestions:
1. Clarify Dual Roles: Your resume currently lists two overlapping roles (Consultant at Ninety's Design and Creative Graphic Designer at Ninety Designs). The version above presents this as a leadership/ownership role (Consultant) alongside your core hands-on design role, which clarifies the structure for recruiters.
2. Quantify Achievements: To make your resume even stronger, consider adding specific metrics or outcomes where possible. For example: "Designed packaging for [Product Line] that contributed to a X% increase in shelf engagement" or "Developed brand identity for [Number] of startups in the [Industry] sector."
3. Modernize Keywords: The terms "Visualizer" and "Graphic Artist" are somewhat dated. The revised version uses them in the historical context but emphasizes modern equivalents like "conceptualization" and "design" in your summary and skills section to be more search-engine friendly for today's job portals.
4. Consolidate Early Career: The numerous short-term roles from the 1990s are valuable as they show extensive experience. The revised format lists them clearly but concisely, allowing the focus to remain on your depth of expertise and current capabilities.
