Portfolio
Hello my name is Mason Akira Kondo I was born in Phoenix Arizona. Growing up I played a lot of sports but always had an interest in computers and art. I received a Bachelor's of Arts degree in Digital Culture from Arizona State University in 2021. I spent my time at the university developing a digital skillset becoming proficient in tools such as InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Canva. My area of expertise is in graphic design and digital marketing but I also have experience in front-end programming languages such as HTML5/CSS and MAX MSP in conjunction with website builders like Wix, Webflow, and Wordpress. Currently I am the Marketing Coordinator for six different companies under one organization that delivers a turn-key, design-build service in the commercial industry;

Marketing Research
Throughout my time at Arizona State University I had the opportunity to conduct digital marketing research. I learned the fundamentals of how to aquire accurate psychographic and demographic data from social sources like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. At my Internship with RIESTER an Arizona based full-house advertising agency I was mentored by their Senior Paid Analyst and was able to conduct the same research using client's google analytics and google adcampaign platform data. This was utalized to inform clients of their strenghts and areas of improvement regarding Key Performance Indicators(KPI's), Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Search Engine Marketing (SEM), and google Adwords. With the one clear goal of optimizing the client's advertising & marketing budget in the most efficient way possible.
