Fashion Designers Get Paid: Build Your Fashion Career On Your Own Terms

196: How This Freelancer Does Sourcing & Product Development for Factories (and is making bank)


Listen Later

Being a freelance fashion designer means you can step outside of the norm and build a career your own way!

Just like today's guest, Amanda Russo, who takes a little bit of a backward approach from what we may normally see.  She lives in Brazil and helps factories source new fashion brands and then manages the product development process.  We talk all about exactly how she got her clients, how she put together contracts and retainers to earn consistent income, and about her amazing experience inside Fast.  If that isn't enough, after just 3 short months of kickstarting her freelancing career, Amanda is already out-earning her previous full-time salary!

About Amanda Russo:
Amanda Russo, a graduate from an esteemed school, has dedicated the past decade to the field of international product development. With a unique perspective on the industry, Amanda has navigated the differences between American and international product development, often working with a larger focus on national product development. As a fashion freelancer, she specializes in linking factories with the right clients in Brazil and guiding them through the entire product development journey.
