Mathew Ballard’s Summary
I've been a passionate designer since 2005. Its been a bit hard to break into the industry thus far, with the countries current economic situation, but I'm still striving to find a company to plant myself with for a few years and do all I can to use my skills to help them grow.
Currently I think I may have found that company, but it is a start up, so who knows what may lay ahead.
