Help with a graphic design speech.

Ok so I have a speech final this coming wednesday. I'm giving a career speech on graphic design and I need to interview a graphic designer. These are the questions I'm supposed to ask. If anyone here is a graphic designer I would really appreciate you answering (feel free to alter any personal info you don't want on the net). If you are not a graphic designer, feel free to have fun with it I might use it anyway.
