Jeffisms:

"It's not that I don't play well with others; it's just that I want to choose where, when and with whom I play."

"It's better to be a smart-ass than a dumb-ass."

"'Freelance' is a nasty little word. It seems to imply an individual doesn't have a 'real' job, can't get a job, isn't truly professional in their field, and is willing to work for 'free.'"

"The only thing worse than a potential client who does not value the efforts of a professional graphic designer, is a designer who doesn't appreciate the value of their own time and work." [less]

  Jeff is delightful conversationist and personality. Hours can go by easily in conversation with him!

  I'm confident in his ability to deliver what he says he will, as well as provide rockstar customer service through that shining personality!

  You don't have a publisher ASK to publish a book with you if you aren't doing awesome work so Jeff is doing something right for sure!   [less]
