My name is John Jones, a graphic design student who wants to help others bring their name and their brands out via print, web, and other devices. I started doing web design when I was younger just as a hobby on the computer and found out that I have a passion for creativity with computers. Let my passion help your success.

Experience

Micro Center, Technical Support 2005 - Current

Starting out in sales, my role expanded as I saw a need to serve customers in a more comprehensive way through instructional handouts, keynote presentations and how-to-clinics.  Proficient in both Mac and Windows environments, my technology skills crossed over to help with in-store outages and routine maintenance. My graphic design skills were used to create flyers and advertisements for in-store and chain-wide sales and promotions.

Currently functioning as the go-to-guy who assists clients with tech support, education and all things related to their computers.
