i'm an independent graphic artist who sees design as a hobby rather than a job.
the best thing about design is that there are endless possibilities. there are corporate designs that we all see everyday - i.e. logos, commercials, brochures, etc.
and there are small business designs that we sometimes overlook i.e. flyers or business cards.
and then there are personal designs that only a small number of eyes get to see, but regardless of where design is, it's custom, it's different, it's unique, and it becomes part of what we are.
