This is a presentation about my personal brand. In my project and portfolio class we had to do a powerpoint presentation giving key information about my personal brand. This presentation is very important because it tells you every detail about my personal brand. This is a very important project because it has to be used in my personal portfolio website. I took my time and used a lot of information from me and my industry.
