About Me


GO MEDIA - my design firm
I'm Jeff Finley. I'm a graphic designer for Go Media. Well, graphic designer is a loose term because, today, it means a lot of different things. I spend my days drawing, illustrating, designing, coding, animating, promoting, marketing, art directing, emailing, blogging, and watching films (that last part I don't get paid for). We have 6 employees at the moment, 5 of which are talented artists and graphic designers. It's what I spend my week doing and I am very happy with how things are going. We're growing rapidly and are looking for talented people to hire. If you've got a killer flash/web dev portfolio hit us up.
When I'm not working, I am usually hanging out with my fiance Kim. She's a lot like me, in the fact that neither of us drink or do drugs. Never have. We share a lot of the same views on things and that's cool. We've been together since June 2nd, 2003. I love Kim and I know we'll be together forever. She works with me at Go Media as our office manager. But she's currently trying to find employment in the education field. So if you are looking for a kind and dedicated person with a degree in Elementary Education, look no further!
