Freelance Graphic Design with Small Business Owner Sophie from Simply Sophie Designs

35 minutes

Sophie is the illustrator and designer behind Simply Sophie Designs, a marketing + design agency that serves clients across the country and overseas. From selling custom portraits in her college dorm room in 2019, her business has since grown and allowed her to quit corporate and pursue her dreams full time at the age of 24. Today, Sophie shares what it's like to be a freelancer and work with clients – both other business owners and brides for wedding illustrations!

We talk about:

How + when Sophie started freelancing

Was it hard to learn Adobe Illustrator?

Working with clients overseas and in the local community

Cold pitching + landing clients (without making it awkward)

Pieces of her own wedding that Sophie designed

How to avoid getting ghosted when working with clients

Balancing client work and “in the business” work
