  • Site map for portfolio website Today, I am getting organized for my portfolio reboot. It has been a month since I graduated graphic design school and I had only one interview with potential employers despite meeting with three recruiters. I think that having more projects on my website (I currently have nine) will be better…

  • Today a friend’s birthday prompted a birthday image for her Facebook wall. Before going to graphic design school, before even I was on Facebook, I cherished making cards for holidays and stuff. I love that I finally have the time and the knowledge of computer programs to make some cool stuff. I am currently into…

Most of the offices are design companies that focus on digital/tech solutions.

  • Yesterday, I went to Creative Circle, a staffing agency– because I need a job (I’m a recent graphic design school grad, hire me!)– where I met a nice representative. I explained to her my projects in my portfolio and filled out some paper work describing what kind of jobs I would like to get my name…

  • Hand-lettering is something that I think is fun and I want to get better at. I really like cursive, though I don’t think there’s really a practical application for it. Made this cute tiny vid. (Music by Duckett) I’ve been sitting at home enjoying the humid summer air, looking for a job in graphic design…
