| My name is Chris Beams. I consider myself
to be a creative individual capable of thinking on my feet and turning
my hand to anything (from photo manipulation to mural painting to turning
an ice cream sundae into a buzzy bee for children). I believe that I
am a cheerful, hard working, honest and conscientious individual who
takes pride in his work and is capable of working well unsupervised
or as part of a team.
I can be contacted via Email at [email protected] What do I want to do with my life? I wish to attain an extraordinary degree of wealth working as a graphic designer, having fun at the same time, get married, own my own home (complete with white picket fence) and raise 2 or more children. |
