Bio's Galore!

In a couple weeks, I will be leading a breakout session with a couple friends of mine at the AIGA Student Portfolio Review. For this type of event, its customary for the speakers to write a little bio about themselves, so the students know what they're getting themselves into.

It's not easy writing a bio for yourself. Just deciding whether or not to write in 1st or 3rd person takes forever to decide. I try to write as natural as I can, but it all sounds so cheesy.

While writing this bio, it got me thinking, how many do I actually have out there? I decided to search the web for ALL the bios or about pages I have written for myself for various events and sites. You would think I just have to write one and use that for everything. It never really works out that way for me, just because the audiences have been so varied. Either way, here they all are. ALL in one spot. Enjoy:

I have been practicing graphic design for almost 10 years now. I started Moving Beauty so I can use my talent and love for hand lettering to create special personalized keepsakes for people. There is nothing more special than getting a hand written letter, it can instantly warm your heart. Hand lettering is a simple way to customize something special and create a unique one-of-a-kind treasure.

I can provide lettering for just about anything, including monograms, logos, and invitations. I always bring my professional and heart-warming approach to create custom-made pieces, just for you.
