Career Roadmap
Day to Day
Once a client establishes interest in me, we communicate in order for them to brief me on what they want and expect from my services. This takes place either over email or in person if possible. Then I begin my work from my home office at my own schedule. I check in with them as often as they require and turn in my deliverables (usually jpeg images or layered Photoshop files) either via email or a file transfer site.
Advice for Getting Started
