Introduction

[jessicamear]

Hello! I am a self-employed designer. I've done everything from basic web design to print ads to large format design to animation to Flash interaction and lots of other stuff. I also sew and do crafty things, and in general I enjoy all kinds of creative pursuits.

I'm a big fan of documentaries: history, nature, art, type, kids, etc. Pretty much whatever. I really like to learn. I read all kinds of fiction, some non-fiction, and play lots of video games, mostly in the style of Mario and Zelda.

Before today, I had never heard of crowdfunding. It sounds fascinating, so I joined the community to learn more about it. :)

This sounds like fun. I'm happy to see some visually-oriented members appearing. (The LJ community leans toward writers.) I'm hoping we'll pick up some webcomic folks too.

Me too. I've actually put a couple of my hand-sewn items into a crowdfunding context, though no money has actually fallen from the sky yet. I made a tunic and a doll for Torn World.

Yay! New people! I'm glad I took the time to front-load the community with background info on crowdfunding.

Welcome! I'm still learning about crowdfunding and this will be a good place to see what other people are doing and how they are making it all work, get some ideas for your projects.
