Elevator Pitch?

Today I had a go at writing an "Elevator Pitch" to prepare for networking opportunities that may arise in the future. 

An elevator pitch is a clear, brief message or “commercial” about you. It communicates who you are, what you do, what your USP is, and It's typically about 30 seconds - the time it takes people to ride from the top to the bottom of a building in an elevator.


Who am I as an artist?
- Digital Illustrator
- Graphic Design
- Atmosphere/Lighting
- Narrative 
- Commercial/Advertising
- Book Cover Design
- Branding/Packaging 
- 3D
-Landscape
- Building layered images

- I'm a Leeds-based digital illustrator who builds textural, shape-driven and cinematic images and designs.
- Building cinematic and bold visuals, through layered textural shapes.
- Building stories through cinematic and bold imagery. 
- Your story in an image.

I feel like I'm definitely onto something here, but they are starting to become a bit cheesy which I'm not sure sums me up. Also I feel like i'm using the term "design" when I don't feel like I have THAT much design work in my portfolio? are the designs I'm creating "cinematic"? 

I need to focus on where my practice is going - and I know I shouldn't pigeon hole myself, but I don't see how I'd market myself and talk about my work effectively when I don't know what I do? Maybe I need to start looking at creating 2 separate portfolios.
