01. Freya Padmore | Part 1 - Personal Branding, Visibility & Finding Dream Clients
Welcome to the first-ever episode of Work in Progress with Nicole Engelmann!
In this episode, Nicole chats with Squarespace website designer Freya Padmore about her journey into web design and the reality of building a business from the ground up.
They explore the challenges of finding aligned clients, navigating imposter syndrome, and embracing personal branding as a powerful tool for visibility and connection. Freya shares how she balances creativity with tech, the moments that shaped her path, and why saying “no” to the wrong work has helped her say “yes” to joy in her business.
If you’re a creative or small business owner figuring it out as you go, this episode is a gentle reminder that you’re not alone - and that it’s okay to be a work in progress.
