Slogan for my portfolio

I'm trying to make slogan for my portfolio (graphic design). Here it is :
"There is no philosophical slogan about me, let my work do the job."
Does this sentence mean any sence at all for english speakers? Is word "work" in this context understandable as "my portfolio"? Would anybody help me to edit this point to clear slogan?

Hello Meelis,

I would say that any reference to slogans would sound a little like a slogan (i.e. "I don't need slogans" is itself a slogan!).

Out of interest, do you happen to know what straplines your competitors use?

All the best,

Ok, i'll try to translate for you some slogans are used by Estonian graphic design studios.
"Good design is good business"
"Make it real"
"If you have an idea, let's talk about it"
"Let your ideas to fly"
"The father of every good idea is dissatisfaction and the mother is hard-working"

Most of them are "the best ...", "ready to work for you.." and all the rubbish like
