Freelancing isn’t just a way to work—it has transformed the way I perceive everything. Yes, it’s great to have the flexibility to start your week later, like taking Mondays off if needed. But this also means that sometimes Sundays must be sacrificed to meet deadlines. The freedom to work from anywhere has taught me the importance of anticipation and planning. I’ve learned to schedule when I’ll need a strong internet connection, when I can work offline, and how to make the most of my time—even if the "perfect" time doesn’t exist, I create it.

Freelancing has also significantly enhanced my communication skills. Working with people from around the world means that effective communication is not just a benefit, it’s a necessity. Each project flows differently—sometimes it’s asynchronous collaboration, other times it’s meetings or even just a well-timed message. This dynamic has allowed me to adapt and tailor my communication style to fit the needs of each situation.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with both large companies and startups. Some highlights include designing and illustrating children’s books with Grace, collaborating with Dustin and his incredible team at Podtechs as a designer, and participating in Cloudiway’s web redesign. I’ve also worked on several exciting projects with Atomik Growth, including creating engaging videos for Darknet Diaries

In this role, I wasn’t just focused on design—I also took on the responsibility of being the print file guide. My main job? Ensuring that the files sent to the printer were exactly what the clients envisioned. Think of me as the bridge between the client’s design ideas and the printing process, turning their vision into print-ready perfection. Whether it was interpreting specific requests or coming up with quick solutions under tight deadlines, I thrived on finding ways to keep both the design process and the prepress workflow smooth, ensuring everyone stayed happy

In this role, I had the privilege of being the go-to person for print design projects. My main goal? Making sure clients got exactly what they envisioned. From capturing their ideas to delivering designs that were not only visually appealing but also aligned with their brand guidelines, I worked hard to bring their vision to life. It wasn’t always a smooth ride, but I embraced each challenge as an opportunity to learn and grow. And managing multiple projects while keeping clients happy? That took teamwork, and I’m grateful to have been part of such a collaborative effort.

Over the years, alongside my design work, I’ve also taken on various roles in the hospitality industry. These experiences have been invaluable in strengthening my soft skills, such as communication, leadership, teamwork, and resilience. Every day brought new challenges and opportunities to grow, and I’m grateful for the chance to develop these skills in such diverse and dynamic environments.
