I couldn’t stand out as a designer.
I was an introvert.
I was moving cities every year on average.
And I had no consistent clients.
Chasing the dream of making a living as a graphic designer.
5 years into the journey I landed a job with the largest licensed sports retailer in the world.
I had made it! Or so I thought...
I quickly learned that larger ≠ better.
So I started the search again.
This time jumping between smaller agencies.
All while continuing to build my freelance business on the side.
And by putting together pieces from each step along the journey...
I was able to hit my first $100k year freelancing at age 30.
Overnight success is a myth.
It comes from putting in the work over days, months, and years.
Chipping away until the pieces start to click into place.
Stay the course.
