Profitness Sales and ServicesWebsite Building
Oct. 2023–Jan. 2026
I maintained and updated the company website using GoDaddy’s website builder, ensuring all content stayed current and accurate. I independently taught myself WordPress and completed a full site redesign on the platform, improving both functionality and overall user experience.
Banner PaintingPainter
Jan. 2025 – Present
I paint custom, handpainted banners for events ranging from birthdays to graduations. I first create each layout digitally to plan the composition and details, then hand paint the final design onto banners as large as 30×50 inches. This process allows me to produce precise, custom pieces that are both professional and uniquely handmade.
