Creating future based internet and digital media through creative progressive design- Exploring and developing from a progressive creative process, all original; no clone/copy's. Hire Me CBD= Creative Buissness Developer CMD= Creative Media Director (also, an Economic researcher + ADMIN) I enjoy creative writing and do work as a financial research analyst within economics and banking, relating to wealth management as a side-hobby. I develop future based financial predictions with a recorded profit accuracy of over 1000% in the last two years and future profits that in-turn produces wealth for those I either work with or assist with my advice allowing others to financially gain from my instinctive economic knowledge. In terms of global economic wealth management, I develop my writing and ideas which allows me to improve insight of trade, commerce and currency-based futures of both the global economy and British banked companies and investments as local oversight is produced by observation.. CONCEPT DEV: creative business design, creative writing as a media development specialist and concept development artist. (producing unique creative ideas for gaming and animation) (MEDIA) I have a fun side where I think about new ideas for video gaming, movies and animation and my concepts are both unique and yet inspired by the creation of art. I enjoy working within all form of design and creative development industries specializing in the Arts, Media and Tech depending on the project and scope of works available. I started making website's when I was 14 years old, I had my first computer at age 11. Windows 95 was a learning curve with my small hands and big head. I seek to apply myself on projects I find both interesting and financially rewarding. There is no set goal or ambition, it depends on the client and the project. My true strengths and skills come from my passion of exploring the internet and computer-based software, playing around with the tools that are accessible. Converting my imagination to a creation so that the work I develop is both unique and exciting as this is a passion for what I enjoy the most; media and web-based development allow me to develop new ideas and progress artistically. A natural development of progressive designs from creativity to publish. As a concept artist I create concepts, new ideas new stories, characters and environment from thought and imagination that can then be developed for gaming, animation, film, tv, web and more. Trusting in my client's project, and the potential for improvement is an exploration of development that requires truly unique creative ideas and a professional insight that I have. . I apply the same process towards creative business development as an industry. CBD I can combine the concept with the ability to creatively write and produce story line's, characters, emotive and environments based on theme/genre/idea and progression. Creative writing: re-create a story that might not exist into existence. I plan when I have time to develop more of my writing, I did study, but I have learned more out of class than in. A wide variety of opportunities exist here on UPWORK and I look forward to potentially working with you on your project. The influence of media and resources within tech; creative development stimulates. About economic futures based on trends and the quality of technological resource + accessible solutions. What is the future of web-based banking beyond crypto or is there a greater means of compression and data-based loading that will facilitate 3D via "Meta VR" tech when we know AR is the future. The future must be sustained, on improvements; or it is not sustainable. Economic research, admin, digital media concept development and creative work.

TWELVE YEARS. ONE RULE. NOTHING SHIPS UNTIL IT SCORES. I am Edrick Anderson, a London-based Performance Creative Strategist and Designer. 12 years building high-converting Meta ad creatives for 8-figure DTC brands including SKIMS, WHOOP, Toyota, Barclays, Nurecover, Airways, Infinity Hoop, and Gleeful. I do not just design ads. I built my own systems to make sure every creative is built to perform before it ever reaches you. THE SYSTEMS adgrading is my proprietary ad grading platform. It scores every concept across 9 performance criteria before production. Hook strength, mechanism clarity, avatar specificity, scroll-stopping power, blue ocean positioning. Nothing leaves my desk below standard. admastertracker reads your CSV ad performance data and tells me exactly which avatars, angles, and static types are winning so every new design is built on real signal, not guesswork. Atria Plus is the competitor intelligence platform top performance agencies use. Before I design a single frame, I already know which angles, hooks, and avatars are converting in your category. HOW WE WORK Before I touch a design, you see the hooks, headlines, and scoring inside the grading platform. You approve the direction. No surprises, no wasted rounds. Every batch comes with 3 headline variations minimum, sized for the placements that matter, delivered through Frame Weekly batches, consistent output, and a system that gets sharper the longer we work together. THE TOOLS Magic Brief and Atria for daily competitor research and ad intelligence Adobe Photoshop for compositing, retouching, and product work Adobe Illustrator for precision graphics and brand assets Adobe Premiere Pro for short-form video and motion cuts Nano Banana Pro, Photoroom, Freepik, Higgsfield for AI imagery and lifestyle visuals Meta Ads Manager for real performance data and placement context Frameio for organised batch delivery Notion for creative strategy and brand guidelines Slack and Monday for seamless project workflow WHO I WORK WITH I take on a select group of long-term clients at a time. If you have been burned by designers who deliver pretty work that does not convert, or by slow turnarounds that kill campaign momentum, this is the alternative. Fast. Strategic. Built to perform. Note: open contracts shown on my profile are from previous clients who forgot to close them out. Currently available for new work.
