Hi Reddit! I’m Jef.

I’ve been a designer for many years and want to share the ways I help clients. Some of the design is 10+ years old, so I’d rather talk about what I’d learned or contributed in those instances, and show more recent work. This is really a case study of my history as a designer and hope I can walk you through it in detail for the full effect of wittiness and sarcasm.
