Personal Practice: Online Presence

In order to build up my online presence and connect with more people within industry I've joined LinkedIn which has helped me connect with visiting professionals as well as other designers within the creative community in Leeds and university. This has allowed me to stay connected with professionals who visit and we work with within university instead of just listening to them and not being able to contact them again. However although this has been helpful over the year I plan to engage more effectively with LinkedIn over summer and next year by connecting my portfolio and work experience in order to make my profile more 'business' oriented instead of showcasing myself as a student as I want to get more experience working within the industry and with clients throughout level 6. Furthermore I want to create a cohesive identity across all online platforms including LinkedIn, my design Instagram and website featuring my portfolio which I plan to develop this summer ready for level 6 as this will provide an easy platform to showcase my work to studios and clients.
