Erin Hermesch

Clumsy. Perfectionist. Goof. Tall. Worry wart. Best facial expressions. Good listener. Caring. Organized. Nerd. Dependable. Creative.

These are a few words and phrases that have been used to describe me for as long as I can remember. My family and friends all think I'm a hoot, and they turn to me when they need a good laugh or a listening ear. They also know that when I enter "nerd-mode" it's best if they do not distract me.

I was raised in a small-town and had the luxury of having only four TV channels until I was a teenager. My family did not have a dishwasher until my 13th birthday - Best. Present. Ever. I grew up in an environment where K-State football was a way of life, as well as putting pork-n-beans on top of my macaroni and cheese. I always said that someday, in the field across from my house, there would be a mall and a Kansas State campus - obviously I'm still waiting.

I love advertising design and always try to do my best and make sure my work is done to my best capability. As Buddy the Elf in my favorite movie, "Elf", says, "I just like to smile, smiling's my favorite", I also try to smile my way through life - both when it's easy, and not so easy.
