Having An Intentional Career in Graphic Design with Tina from VISUALFLO
This week we are covering the span of our career in graphic design, including corporate positions and transitioning our freelance design into full-time work.
Our journeys have been WILD as graphic designers, and nothing like we could have ever imagined. We've gone from making a lot of money while being unhappy, dealing with crappy bosses, and trying to hit those milestone months to being our own bosses and creating businesses that represent our authentic selves. Our most important lesson through all the struggles is that it's so important to not put yourself in a box! 📦
We have learned A LOT, and we're so happy to share the good, the bad, and ugly with you all. 👩🏼💻👩💻
