So, am I a brand strategist? (You bet that's the answer you're looking for!)

Arriving in the US, I set out to enhance my brand strategist portfolio. Consistently working with creative talent, I wanted a space to showcase my projects, my creative flair, and the exceptional strategies that help brands stand out.

So, I hopped onto Squarespace and built my online hub—a go-to space to roll out my ideas, show off my illustration concepts, and tackle various branding challenges. This was the first step in crafting a platform that mirrors my vision and skills.

“Everything started from strategy and brand, too. “

— Ruslan Smirnov SEO Strategist

Every project featured on my site is a testament to my commitment to quality and my passion for delivering exceptional branding experiences. As I continue to evolve, so does my platform, continuously adapting to showcase the most up-to-date and impactful content that echoes my dedication to the art and science of building brands.

In crafting my online presence, I've anchored my strategy around building a platform that authentically showcases who I am and what I bring to the table as a brand strategist. This journey has not only expanded my skillset but also provided a canvas to illustrate the fusion of creativity and strategy that drives my work.

Through my website, I aim to present a compelling narrative that shares my professional path, highlights my collaborations, and sparks inspiration. It's more than just a portfolio; it's a dynamic space where ideas flourish, and innovation is ever-present. This strategic move has allowed me to delve deeper into branding challenges and offer solutions that are as unique as the clients I work with.

Ultimately, this space reflects my vision—one that celebrates creativity and champions strategic excellence. Through illustrations, branding projects, or storytelling, I endeavor to make a lasting impact and foster connections that extend beyond the digital world.

Compare Creative Strategist vs Creative Director

Well, the brand strategist career path started from naming ideas of my international SEO company  Design History, which later was re-branded to Bearded-PR, to Barbary studio Logo, and may I even say branding strategy. 

Not only to find ways to further to become inspired by the world of branding but also developing a marketing plan through analysis of current market data and trends.”

 Not really: 

portfolio? Everything that you see in Strategist Portfolios can provide not only the visual graphic design ideas but also solve user experiences problems. How would it be different for a UX designer portfolio? Even the Coca-cola can, to box from Steve Jobs iPhone, have the creative strategy background behind it.

May I be a UX, affinity, or web designer? 

Affinity mapping and comparative analysis are my favorite tools, but I am not an affinity designer, even though I use them for the design process too, and sometimes I work with user interfaces.

I have a blog article and illustrations about the bridge sail process,  Dunkin-donuts, and McDonald's menu even if UX cv I never work with any of them, and I am not a visual designer.

Richard Bach UX Quotes :

How Might WE (#HMW), creative thinkers working with illustrate our strategies?

What could my strategy be about?

 

Even simply a can of Coca-Cola, or a box from  Steve Jobs iPhone has a philosophical background, behind it, what I one time realized, this is a job of strategist and art director.


“According to the definition of Richard Bach and the dog Snoopy, if you can’t find a solution to a problem, just run “away from” it “ There is no problem so big that it cannot be run away from.”...
”You’re quoting Snoopy the dog, I believe?” “I’ll quote the truth wherever I find it thank you.”? ”
— Ruslan Smirnov, based on Richard Bach "illusions" quote

How Might Little Prince (#HMW) understand what is creative problems solutions about? The answer is a part of my creative problem-solving examples.

Why did Little Prince, become a Strategist of a creative strategy portfolio?

What are the symbols of my own Little Prince story? I am Ruslan Smirnov, who am I in my story? To speak about my own little prince symbols it’s all about my own life and me. In my portfolio, I have examples of fine arts, illustrations of UX research that are all about the creative vision I leave.

That’s the words of my long-term, content strategy: “I am who I am, and I need to be,” said the Little Prince, even this little boy from the book Antoine de Saint-Exupéry clearly understands who he is.”

My creative director portfolio, not only about the design process, user interfaces and  UX illustration it’s about creative problems solutions.
