Description

Welcome to episode 4 of the Get Work Savvy podcast. 

This week we learn how Mair has created a successful business around her passion – drawing and animation.

She shares her experience, tips and advice when it comes to starting up her own business. Mair was also kind enough to explain how she made the most of university. Having gone through this process I wish I had done the same, so if you are going to or are already at university, consider Mair’s approach and let me know if you agree.

Mair’s recommendations mentioned in this week’s show.
