When Claire moved from Ireland to France in 2009 she started picking up freelance work with the expat community.
Since then she’s been on an even bigger journey. From a designer of ‘everything’ to a niche digital marketer. From ‘having lots of work’ to ‘having a business’. From working into the early hours with no life, to working a four day week with two months off in the summer.
So much learned. Not just a new language.
This episode is sponsored by the very first Being Freelance course!
Steve’s rolled up everything he’s learnt from over 6 years of conversations with more than 250 freelancers.
There’s no ‘one way’ to be a successful freelancer, but this course will help you avoid the many mistakes that most of us make. Learn from our experiences.

Illustrator & Animator Lo Harris
When you work for a news organisation you're not allowed to let your personal thoughts out in your work. So when 2020 happened - the pandemic, George Floyd and beyond... Lo needed a way to express what she was feeling.
