What no one tells you about being a Freelance Designer

Episode Summary

In this solo episode of Brand Your Brain, I’m discussing the over-glorification of being a freelance creative versus having a traditional job or career. I’m talking pros, cons, personal experiences and highlighting the true challenges and rewards of freelancing.

The Confession:

“Sometimes, it’s really not glorious. It’s not fun, it’s not easy, it’s not for everyone. You have to make more sacrifices than you think, and while *I’m* making the sacrifices, I think both traditional career and freelance career should be applauded – not just freelance.” Sent in by Madi Mae

Main Discussion:

  • Benefits of Freelancing
  • Hardships during freelancing
  • Choosing freelance vs a traditional creative job
  • Personal reflections and insight on my journey into freelancing
