Who am I?

I'm a designer, artist, and all around nerd named Jared Bischoff. Part of being a nerd is taking in as much information and trivia as possible. I'm like a sponge, absorbing all sorts of media: art, music, advertisements, movies, videogames, colors, photos... anything. All that information is dumped in my brain and used for inspiration. Sometimes I try to mimic a style I enjoyed, other times I pull from multiple sources to create a new concoction. My style can be eclectic, but I'm very versatile.

I like challenges

Taking the easy way may get the job done, but there’s nothing quite like overcoming a difficult problem. I live for that satisfaction. It’s all about pushing yourself without giving up. This drive is why I knew I could be a great graphic designer. It’s not an easy or forgiving profession, and every day is a challenge. Coming home from work feeling satisfied that I did my best is what gets me out of bed the next morning.
