In this live stream I’ll be sharing some freelancing secrets you’re definitely going to want to know. Contrary to what social media tells you, the life of a freelancer does not always mean a luxurious laptop lifestyle, prestigious design awards, exciting projects and more clients than you can handle.
In fact, being a great designer is only a fraction of what you need to know to freelance successfully and there is a lot about being an independent creative professional that is really, really hard. Join me and I’ll give you a sneak peek into 10 things that you’ll learn (hopefully not the hard way) when you become a creative entrepreneur.
