When I was about four years old, my grandmother taught me how to use a computer. I learned only the basics of Windows 95, as that was all she knew. In my brief lessons, I was introduced to Microsoft Paint. After experimenting with the program, I had an immediate interest in graphic arts. I continued teaching myself for several years to come. Fast-forward to 2010, I found myself at Rider University, majoring in Graphic Design. At this point, I had some general knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite, with most interest in learning Photoshop. I chased my childhood passion into college. And four years later I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design, with a minor in Web Design. Today, I am embarking on a new journey into the professional design feld. I am currently a freelance designer, taking every step I can at expanding both my business, and my own skill set. I am proud to say that I pursued my lifelong passion for graphic design, and turned it into the career path of my dreams. Objective: To take my passion and creativity into the design industry, and obtain a full-time, entry level job as a graphic designer.

Jeff Striks Season Food like a Pro By F.C. Williams you dont need to be a professional... 1 2 3 4 Follow these simple steps to become a Master Consider the unseasoned food and its original taste. Dont hide the favor of the original food. This frst step can make or break a meal. Feel free to experiment with new favors, in ways you never thought to before. Dont be afraid to go heavy, it brings out the favor you really want. Let the food absorb the favor youre adding in. This makes a huge difference in the fnal dish! Choose several stark, obviously-noticeable favors. Be generous to craft and enhance the new favor. Cook in the seasoning, dont just throw it on after! Jeff Striks Class: Advanced Graphic Design and Portfolio Rider University Software: Adobe InDesign, Illustrator Role: Designer The Student Design Competition, where the winner would have their design featured in a magazine. I chose the how-to category, detailing my knowledge of cooking and seasoning food. Like a pro.
