>> My name is Chris Geimer, and I am a graphic designer.
I am a designer who works with businesses to communicate their goals, their products,
their services to their target market through visual communications primarily in print media.
Typical day I like to get up early when it's still quiet.
I work out of a home office so I can get a lot done before everyone else is up.
I don't really work 9 to 5.
So I'll get some stuff done.
If I have meetings during the day I'll work around those.
But primarily I'm on my computer a good deal of the time throughout the day.
And sometimes the day goes into the night.
Sometimes I can finish early.
It's when you're self-employed you have that flexibility.
I don't travel, no, because all my files travel for me.
I have clients on the east coast, on the west coast and the Midwest.
And generally I may go to a trade show once in a while or go to meetings with a client,
but primarily it's the work that gets sent around, not me.
