How to be a Freelance Designer and Artist - Ash Huang

[@alexhuxley4399]

Freelance is hard bloody work. Staying focused and disciplined sinks most people that I’ve known. I’ve been freelance for coming up on 20 years. You have to stay current and learn new things constantly. When the client says “can you do this sort of thing?” It’s good to ba able to say yes. The downside is sometimes you spend too much time working or just in front of the glowing rectangles. Need to learn to put the brushes down. Good luck to all! Oh yeah ... get a great accountant - it will cost you and literally save you.

This video is incredibly honest. I love it. Well it's even safe to say this entire series, has a unique vulnerable take on the Freelance portion of the creative industry. Very helpful and insightful. Thanks Dann!

Dann, this is brilliant. Keeping it pretty short means the insightful stuff is pretty packed in, which is great. The balance of shots is great too. It just let's me hear Ash's story without overdoing the quirky creative shots which i think these shows can overdo. Really nicely paced. Thanks.

Did freelance for a year and a half. Very hard staying discipline and just not knowing where to start with getting myself out there and then when business did come I made an excuse. I was terrible.

[@explorewithdianachannel]

It requires a lot of discipline but if you really love it you can be successful. You need to live with it, have the passion to innovate all the time and learn new skills. The problem is that some people just want to go to work, do their job done and then do something else. It is easier if you just follow task and don`t need to always think what to create. If you have the right support of people around who understand you, then it is kind of a dream life.
