Why degrees aren't the only route to creative success: freelance 2D motion designer Esteban González shares how to network and thrive as a self-taught professional

Esteban Gonzáles is a remarkable freelance 2D and motion designer—and he’s here to tell you why beating down the door for opportunities is everything (send that email you’ve been putting off. DO IT NOW!). 

8 years ago, Esteban found himself with a unique challenge: his home country, Uruguay, only has one university graphic design course. Esteban skipped this expensive and competitive step to instead self-teach and focus on building valuable networks. Now a sought-after freelancer with extensive experience as a senior motion designer, Esteban shares his tips on how to build a successful career without a university background. 

Packed full of golden nuggets (including why 5 minute phone calls are the flare you need for an agency to spot you in the dark sea that is creative job applications), this episode is your cheat sheet to a commercial mindset that agencies and clients love.  

There's also a bit in here for all you NFT-lovers as Esteban shares his knowledge designing for the blockchain.
