What a brilliant chat with Orla Fitzmaurice! We started with web design and then went down the rabbit hole... Orla's path from archaeology nerd to economics graduate to web designer is exactly the delightful meandering I live for. We dove into her take on AI - equal parts excitement and healthy skepticism - and got real about the magic that happens when you let go of perfectionism and actually collaborate with clients. If you identify as multitalented and multipassionate, this convo will show you that you CAN do it all.

Orla's bio:
Designer, strategist and quiet chaos merchant on an infinite quest to promote sustainable and aligned self-employment.
I believe in the unique and infinite potential of every single mind on this planet and the importance of self-determination for true creative freedom. I love to help my clients to discover and illuminate their path to sustainable and aligned self-employment to create true personal freedom.
Having worked as a freelance web designer for 20 years a web designer, I have been involved with every side of building a business from idea, design, development, startup funding, business-modeling to sales. However, as I became more successful, I found myself becoming repeatedly burnt out from the hustle side of running a small agency, constantly moving from contract to contract and struggling to find the time to provide the quality of service I had previously.
When I’m not working, daydreaming or taking care of my two monkeys under 4 – I am painting. Aimless, delicious, self-indulgent, purposeless painting.
