What would I want to know, if I were in your shoes? Maybe: why am I a graphic designer? If I can answer this, let me first explain something about design that has everything to do with why I design.
The truth about design is that the most important question is "why".
"Why is this working?" or perhaps "why is it not?" and sometimes even "why is design the right answer?" I've often had moments in my career where l have been told that all that was needed was a new logo or website - and magically, things would take care of themselves. What I know is that the visuals of design can often mislead people into thinking that "shiny new designs" will solve all their problems. Realistically, a design can't solve what it doesn't ask. It needs to properly identify problems first to get to the right solutions, and there are no shortcuts.
If shortcuts do take place (and yes, there are plenty of examples out there in the world of fast & cheap design) - these ultimately fall flat of solving anything. They only put jazz hands and flashing lights around 'what's being sold, 'how' it functions, 'who' it's for, and 'where' it can be purchased. It won't convert even an average intelligent person asking 'why' it exists or 'why' anyone should care.
And here, is where I circle back to answer your question.
I am a graphic designer because I am an eternal student of the 'why of all things'. Everything has a reason if you dig deep enough, I just naturally look at all things from this angle. Call it a curiosity trait that I never grew out of, but this trait lured me to into an Honors B.A. in cultural anthropology, psychology and ancient culture & religion; which then launched me into interactive media & graphic design school. I like to think of my combined humanities and design background as a wildcard; an ace that packs a punch into my process and outcomes. It can't help leaving clients asking themselves: "why even design with anyone else?"
