I became a freelance graphic designer by accident.  In 2009, I offered to help out at my daughter's preschool by designing invitations for their yearly fundraiser.  The head of the committee showed the invitation to her husband, who said he needed someone local to do designs for his local sports store across from Chicago's Wrigley Field.  Although I have always been a die hard White Sox fan, I decided to give it a shot.  Eight years later we are still working together and I have been able to slowly expand my business by word of mouth.  I love what I do.  I love coming up with concepts and designs that are representative of both individuals and companies.
