    100000% subscribed. This industry need more authentic content. Showing the struggles and wins along the way. I follow you almost for a year and learned so much as you opened my eyes about how the things really happen. Waiting for your next vid mate!

    Dude, I freaking love your videos. I’m in high school and took a graphic design class this past year. It didn’t even come close to teaching me what I learned from watching your videos. Thank you so much!

    We’re in this together. I’m just starting out too in this freelance journey. I have a UA-cam channel to start building content. I’ve been a graphic designer for over 25 years and am still siting on my butt, working for an employer and doing not all the things I want to do as a graphic designer when I’m capable of more. Anyways I’m looking forward to hearing more of your journey while I even build my own.

    I am super excited for this! I seen your work on TikTok and I am always inspired! I just graduted from uni and am currently a part time designer for a successful start up but I would love to be in a position where I am doing freelance one day. Thank you for wanting to share your knowledge to allow others to grow!

    Been full time freelancing for 2 years now, and it's awesome for the most part. Working from home is great and I make way more than I did as an employer doing pretty much the same job.

    I've been watching your IG content, and it's always good vibes and amazing tips. Mainly because of your videos, I decided to change my career and fulfill my dream of becoming a graphic designer. It's such an amazing feeling to do something that I genuinely enjoy! People like me, who are only at the beginning of this journey, need this content more than you can imagine..
    Please carry on, Maestro! 💪🏼💪🏼

    Looking forward to the series. Im a inhouse designer for a small print company in New Zealand and looking to create an extra income thru a little side hustle at the moment. As an inhouse designer I don't often get to stretch my design legs that much, more often than not |'m tweaking files that come in for print. So... a CJC inspired side hustle maybe what I need.

  • @Mouthofthearchitect
    @Mouthofthearchitect 6 місяців тому

    Great video and looking forward to the journey, learning and getting inspired along the way. I've been a designer for well over 15 years now but for the majority of that lifespan I've been working at an agency doing nothing too creative. Only 4 years ago I decided to switch jobs, and also starting to freelance on the side. Why am I saying this? Well probably just to tell you that although I'm already a slightly old fart (turning 42 what?), I still feel like I'm just starting out. I'm the only designer at the agency I work at now and get a lot of freedom, but it does come with the cost of almost constant imposter syndrome. Pretty sure I'll get a ton out of your videos. You deliver and present top notch work!

    Hello! I’m a big fan of your work and truly inspired of what you do! I’m an entry level graphic designer and I’m trying to be able to start my own freelancing business like you, but I’m not sure what would be the first steps into reaching clients. I was wondering when you first started, what made you get more clients and how did you start your own freelancing agency? Thank you.
