Serious navel gazing

So I've finally been getting my business/professional side on the go, and have been making headway on my mission to become a recognized designer. Slow, baby steps granted, but progress still.

One of the things that I've been trying to get my act together with is a website. I've enlisted a good friend who's willing and web-savvy to get things on the go. One of the first things he asked me was to find an image that portrays me through the site, and since that question I've periodically been immersing myself in analysis of my own image and ultimately my own identity. I keep trying to find images that I think sum me up, and in the end I just end up with random shapes.

While I'm proud of what I like to think of as my individuality, I admire those who can find or create images that sum them (or parts of them) up. Anything I've thought up so far feels instantly hackneyed, and I wonder if that says not only something about my creativity but also about me as a person. Am I just one big cliché?

It seems like making an interesting, powerful and insightful composition of geometric shapes is much more challenging and creative than using images we already recognize. And, frankly, it will make a better website.

You are so creative, and definitely NOT cliched!
