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!
Been watching IG content for around 6 months now, and it's been not only very entertaining, but has been a huge inspiration, so I'm super looking forward to these videos
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!
Let's goooo!!!!! You have made me sooooo much excited, Cj!!! I often hangout with your content when I feel a bit down & low on inspiration. That's going to be soo good, inspiring & helpful. Can't wait to see you back here🔥😋
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! 💪🏼💪🏼
I have also embarked on this challenging journey during these difficult times! I would be glad to hear from you not only about your successful achievements but also about the trials we all face. Love your designs btw 🙌
CJ Cawley AKA the realest man (and designer) out here ! Keep up the great work, as a student in Art Direction, I look up to you as a model, love your transparency.
Can't wait for this! Love your IG content. I've recently started freelance PPC and I'm looking forward to learning from you. Thank you for inspiring me.
Desde Argentina, comparto todo lo que contas al principio, percibo lo mismo de este y de muchisimos rubros, no solo diseño. Me encanta lo que haces y la idea de compartir tu crecimiento como diseñador me parece una increible idea, va a ayudar mucho!
Dude, I moved from Chicago to a small town in Florida a while back and I just don't have the creative spark like I used to being around soo many good artists day in and day out.. Finding you on Insta and now YT.. Man you really help the killer come out in me! Thanks for everything you do!
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.
Fantastic kickoff! I've been a freelancer for just a month and your tips hit home. Excited for what’s next and to gain more insights from your experiences. Cheers!
Man O Man! You ace at everything you do! Given the reel asking whether to start a UA-cam channel, I thought you would be struggling. But man! This is the best channel trailer for a graphic design channel I have ever watched! Thank you for starting this channel. Eagerly waiting for your next video. Subscribed and All Notifications alert on.
Awesome video and awesome idea. Good on you for not resorting to “selling a course” which I thought you was going to do. Thanks UA-cam algorithm for showing me this!
Perfect timing mate, can't wait for this series. I was wondering if you could make a video explaining your freelance and social media journey, as I am struggling to get started. Cheers!
Few days later I am finding your UA-cam channel after watching some reels on Instagram And Here it is , I am very excited and eager to learn something new.
Heyou! Just found out about your YT channel after following you on Insta for so long, and I'm just starting out on my own freelance graphic design career, so I'm realllly looking forward to what u have to share! 👍🏿😃👍🏿
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!
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.
The first 60 seconds of this video described exactly how I’m feeling about trying to go freelance (and apparently make £100,000 in a year) 😂 looking forward to this series man, good luck!
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.
Hey dude love your content. You should create a UA-cam playlist so we can save it and watch your videos episode by episode without accidentally missing one. Thanks!
Bro, I think you’re so nervous of your first longer form video that you forgot your signature 🤙 for your ending. Joke aside, I subbed before hearing you say anything, going to learn from you so much! Keep them coming!
This is pretty meta, but I’d love to see and learn how you discovered your design style. I personally can’t draw well so I stay with very geometric designs and purely shape building. I feel like I’m obligated to be a good drawer to be a good graphic designer. Is this true though?
Cj, I'd love to get into design more. I am a creative person. My ability to draw is pretty bad tbh. Any suggestions on first steps I could take? Even my handwriting is pretty bad. Is there hope or am I a lost cause when it comes to design? I do web design and marketing often. Thanks mate

Can't wait
This is pretty meta, but I’d love to see and learn how you discovered your design style. I personally can’t draw well so I stay with very geometric designs and purely shape building. I feel like I’m obligated to be a good drawer to be a good graphic designer. Is this true though?
Cj, I'd love to get into design more. I am a creative person. My ability to draw is pretty bad tbh. Any suggestions on first steps I could take? Even my handwriting is pretty bad. Is there hope or am I a lost cause when it comes to design? I do web design and marketing often. Thanks mate
Cheers from Mexico!
Let's goooo! ❤
Im gonna take credit for your posting after 4 months 😂
So keen to watch this🎉
Fair play my friend 😉
I need to know where did you get that custom led sign you have 😂
Spinach and eggs is key to success 😅 thanks for bringing the truth 🔥
