“I’m a graphic & web designer, or whatever you want to call it. I help people create or update their branding, visualize their message, design their website or app and illustrate things. My goal is to provide the best quality work I can for a fair price.
I have been lucky enough to have worked at some cool agencies and studios through the years. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a lot of different types of companies and learned a ton about what it takes to get projects done.
I got obsessed with this stuff when I was in grade school, but didn’t realize there was an occupation called “Graphic Design” until I went to college.
I could make a living doing this stuff?
Not in my wildest dream.”

“Hello! I’m Dan. I’m a freelance writer, illustrator, and photographer based out of Chicago, Illinois. Originally from Northeast Ohio, I’m currently a public health researcher at the University of Chicago and freelance in my spare time.
I’m an expert euchre trash talker. I can hold a piece of toast in my mouth for a solid 45 seconds without dropping it. And my hand fruit game is on point.
About two years ago, I founded I’m Sorry Mark Jackson with a friend and have been writing and drawing about basketball since. I regularly contribute to both Hardwood Paroxysm and Fear the Sword. And I’ve also written for Fansided, Waiting for Next Year, and Chicagoist. “
