speaking — Season 11 — BEING FREELANCE - Podcast and Community for freelancers

Freelance to be free - Art Director and Graphic Designer Lina Forsgren

Lina began freelancing in college, where she founded a feminist communications agency with a friend, and she’s worked independently since then.

She chats to Steve about the speaking gigs that make her anxious for weeks, the time she nearly hit a wall from working too much, and the community she created for women and non-binaries within the creative industry.

Documenting the process - Data Visualisation Designer Nadieh Bremer

Nadieh’s first client was Google. After sharing a personal project online, Google got in touch to ask if she’d like to work with them. She said yes, because she couldn’t not, and went freelance from there.

She chats to Steve about what’s happened since, including building an online network, speaking at conferences and continuing to share her work and talk about her process.
