  • Q&A: Juggling multiple projects & managing deadlines
    As a creative, deadlines are not exactly something that I naturally enjoy. But if you're going to be successful as a solo studio owner or freelancer, you need to learn to master your own time management and communication skills in order to effectively meet deadlines for your client's sake, and your own!
    In this episode I'm covering:
    1. How I handle delays from the client's side - what to do about having to invoice late and projects being delayed beyond the original timeline
    2. What I would do if I couldn't meet a deadline
    3. How I space out my time when working with multiple clients at a time

  • Becoming a solo designer: From college to running my studio full time
    In this episode I'm sharing my journey from leaving college to running a successful design studio and everything I learnt along the way. No matter where you are in your journey, know that you're never alone and that if it's not looking the way you want it to look, that's okay. Keep your head down, focus on the craft and let your passion lead you.

    - My time in university
    - Getting my first 9-5 job
    - Finding out I was pregnant
    - Quitting that job & the first few months as a freelancer
    - Growing my client base & studio
