graphic designer — Season 18 — BEING FREELANCE - Podcast and Community for freelancers

From working in shops on Oxford Street as a teenager, now her photos can be seen in those windows instead.

Marcelle did lots of work for free early on but it built a network, a portfolio and a reputation that has since served her well. Whilst her training as a graphic designer has kept her working at times when she didn’t have a camera in her hand.

A self professed workaholic, her thirty year plan finds her sitting in a beach far away from the streets of London.

Graphic Designer Luke Tonge

Luke was scared to go freelance. He needn’t have been. He’d spent 10 years of agency life not just making great work, but making a name for himself. Despite being shy, he ‘d been writing, speaking and immersed in community.

Having felt the benefits of events himself, he now organises them for others. Together with his friend Dan, he’s nurturing the creative scene in his city through the amazing work of Birmingham Design.
