Bryan Veloso’s Summary

To be completely and utterly blunt, I'm different from most of the designers you might run into. Take a look at my education for instance, I majored in business, not design. How about my process? It straddles the line between unorganized and simply messy. It's probably because of the fact that I'm self-taught. However, what matters in the end, even if you dislike the journey, is that you'll like the end product.

I am a pixel-anal obsessive-compulsive perfectionist, and I like it. I have a business approach to design or rather "wow people, without the crap." I may not be the best designer, artist or programmer. I may not have a degree thats says I spent four years of my life sitting in boring stone-age HTML classes. What I do have is an energy and a passion that I'm ready to throw towards those who will take advantage of it.
