Hello,
My name is Jake Buller (Bull-er - like a guy who bulls). I'm a digital designers and product developer with over a decade of experience in print, graphic, web/app, and brand development and design.
I believe humor, self-reliancee, and empathy are the most valuable skills you can have.
I try not to take life, work, or college basketball too seriously.
Most of my time revolves around a dog, a cat, a cabin, and a computer.
I thought "shit hits the fan" was "shit hits the van" until my mid twenties.
Good talk, see you out there.
Jake
