Do you have a portfolio?

: Ok, thanks Lauren. I was just wondering because I know that many

to

the "you're
: just a designer, so why are you charging me $XXX" syndrome with my
: graphic/web design work, mainly because I'm a freelancer. It's
like
: people don't understand that my work is just anyone else's, WORK.

: Thanks again and I'll keep it in mind to have both and hourly and
: flat-rate price scale on hand.
