About Me
Why Graphic Design?
Graphic Design is the organization and presentation of information. It’s art, but with a clearly defined purpose. As someone who likes doodling and list-making in equal-measure, I like that balance of using creativity to accomplish a defined goal.
In short, I get to be creative while solving problems and helping people.
Why “Untuxable”?
Untuxable is a screen name I’ve used online for ~20 years, starting with gaming in my teens and extending into my first years doing design work. I solidified it as a personal brand in college while streaming on Twitch.tv and doing design work for TheSpeedGamers, a charity group based in Texas. I’ve had this website domain for a decade since throwing together a site for my first internship, so it’s both convenient and fitting to continue using it.
And also PatrickRule.com was already taken.
