100


100 per hour - Virtual OK - Posted Aug 29, 2016

I will spend an hour on Skype talking with you about breaking into the freelance illustration industry. I have experience with sites such as Upwork and Etsy, and can speak with you on a variety of subjects such as:
- How to put together a good portfolio
- How to get your portfolio looked at
- How to self promote
- How to negotiate with Clients
- How to write a freelance contract
- How much to charge

Got specific questions? I'm always open to answering whatever inquiries you may have.

Training & Qualifications


I am an illustrator with a BFA in illustration from the Art Center College of Design. I have been in the freelance game for over a year and have worked for clients such as Hohm Press, Dragonfly Publishing, Premiere Guitar Magazine, Story Street Labs, Dunn Edwards Paint, and Hedoe Paper.

Availability & Preferences


I'm usually free Weekdays during the day, but as a freelancer my schedule is always changing so if you've got a day or time that works for you, hit me up and I'll try to see if I can accommodate you :)

Trading Preference: I prefer exchanging services
