Hello, My name is Ronald Wray and I am a graphic designer, photographer and web designer and I hold a bachelors degree in web and graphic design from DeVry University in Chicago. I have four years of design experience mostly working with different internships and freelance clients that I cater to on a daily basis. Growing up in Chicago as a kid I never really knew what I wanted to do when I got older. When I was eight years old my parents asked me “would you want to go to college or get a job right after high school? ” Not knowing what college was I automatically said college.

I remember watching Youtube videos of Photoshop tutorials and learning about layers, typography, textures, and brushes. Those terms were the basic skills and mindset that I quickly picked up. When I was a junior in high school that is when I took design more seriously. Taking art as an elective, my art teacher Mrs. Thompson who I still know to this day, had a great impact on how I pursued my goal of becoming a graphic designer. I was always given projects where I focused on what art and design meant to me. I had an eye for detail, my vision and how I saw a project right before I would start on drawing a concept, everything, came together.
