Right, so, I’m finally starting off my web design/development portfolio in the hope that I’ll get some work.

But, I’m confused. I know it sounds simple, seeing as I am working alone, but do I use ‘we’ and ‘our’ or ‘I’, ‘me’, and ‘my’.  
I think the latter sounds less professional. What do you think? What should I do, because quite a lot of individual designers/developers use ‘we’, but I’m not sure whether it’s right.

Thanks in advance.  
Ben
