In this episode, I’m joined by Frankie Harry to talk honestly about loneliness in freelance design, building real community, and finding your rhythm as a creative.
After getting two confessions about how isolating this industry can feel, we dig into practical ways to meet people offline and document your journey.
The Creative Confession(s)™ we're discussing:
✷ “Being a self-employed designer full time is so lonely… I just want to design where I’m happiest and connect with other people, maybe have a co-working call with other freelance designers once a month.”
✷ “People underestimate how lonely it can be being a new designer. It’s easy to feel even lonelier when you see communities and just want to fit in especially when you’ve transitioned from a different industry.”
