This is where I tell you that I am an amazing graphic designer and why you should think so too. This fact should be most evident through my web and print portfolios, but in this section I will further win your heart by exaggerating my graphic genius to heroic proportions.

I am an accomplished designer, with 5 years of experience working in the "real world," and 2 years of experience on top of that working in the "fantasy world" of designing for local bands and other miscellaneous freelance projects which I took on during my time as a "professional student." Ah, those were the days when I had unbridled creative expression, before I would begin the work of cerebrally-challenging, labor-intensive, comatose-inducing projects for IT firms, insurance companies, and local business associations. What I learned, however, is that if the company is willing, design can still be exciting, fresh, and limitless.

No matter how trying the journey's been that has brought me to this point in my career, I believe it is my unending responsibility to make the world of web and print a more beautiful place – to save tired eyes from drab logos, websites with frighteningly low-res images, brochure layouts with widows wrapping on every paragraph. This is my mission, I have chosen to accept it.
