The more professional your work is the better chance you have to promote yourself and business ahead of your competition.
I have 15+ years working as a in-house and freelance graphic designer at various companies.
Having a diploma in graphic design doesn't mean I've stopped learning. I enjoy strengthening my skills and keeping up to date with technology through online resources and through my viewers on my blog.
Work Terms
I work Monday - Friday, 1pm - 9pm EST as I volunteer my time during weekday mornings.
First 50% of the project is due up front to show that you are serious in following the project though to completion.
Last 50% of the project is due after we have worked together and you are satisfied with what we have created.
I prefer to be contacted by email. This helps me concentrate on client work instead of always answering the phone.
