Growing as a Freelance Designer - An interview with Jay Clouse


Listen Later

The dream for many designers is to work exclusively on logo design. But most design jobs sadly require you to work on many different types of design projects. So if you want to work exclusively on logo design, you need to work as a freelance graphic designer, and build your own business.

Freelancing can be tough, so to help you grow and flourish as a freelance graphic designer Ian's joined by Jay Clouse, the founder of Freelancing School, where he helps creatives thrive as business owners. Jay also hosts the Creative Elements, a podcast where he talks to high-profile creators about the nitty gritty of building their creative career.

We discuss a wide range of topics to help you succeed as a freelance designer. This includes common mistakes freelancers make, the importance of systems, networking and relationship building, CRMs and managing your finances.
