From learning HTML from a friend when he should have been in economics class, to building his own successful web development business, Jason Resnick’s been on a big journey over the past two decades.

Having reached his life goal of being around to see his kid’s first steps and hear their first words, Jason began looking for what was next.

Kirsten's both a mentor and a mentee and thinks no matter where we are in our freelance careers there are always people just a few steps ahead that we can learn from. And others who can learn from us.
