226: How this Freelance Fashion Designer Landed 140 Style Project on UpWork


Listen Later

With the right foundation and strategies, you can find massive projects on Upwork!

No, really.  Upwork may have its cons (just like any freelancing platform), but today I'm talking with Katrina Martin who made the transition from corporate to freelancing and landed an amazing gig from Upwork.  We're talking a massive 140-style project!  Not only did she land the gig, she also negotiated a price that was higher than the set budget!

Knowing the right strategies to stand out in a saturated market, network effectively, negotiate pay, and step out of your comfort zone can help you regain creative freedom.  Whether you're new to fashion freelancing or a seasoned freelancer, this episode is full of golden nuggets to help you utilize the right strategies in your toolbox.

About Katrina:

Katrina is a women's wear designer, trend connoisseur, and Adobe Illustrator guru specializing in woven and knit tops. She was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. Her journey in the fashion industry has taken her to Los Angeles, New York, and back again, accumulating over 12 years of experience. Aside from fashion, she loves to paint, work out, and cuddle with her two chocolate labs.
