3 months of freelancing

As of yesterday, I have officially been freelancing for three months. Happy freelance anniversary to me!  

Three months may seem like a short amount of time, but I've worked on so many different projects, and learned so many new things, I feel it is worth celebrating. 

I've had a varied few months working on a range of projects, including digital design for a ticketing agency, UI for an educational website and POS ads for luxury cosmetics.

Here's a little look at what I've been up to.

Things I've learned to do: 

• Talk about myself and my work with confidence (and not underselling my skills) 
• Be open and honest about what I want from my career 
• Talk to new people and get to know how they work (quickly) 
• Get stuck in from the moment I arrive at an agency 
• How to juggle workload 
• Manage finances 
• How to deal with rejection (not a fun skill, but definitely essential) 
• How a ticketing website works - inside and out (thanks Eventim UK) 
• Code a webpage from scratch How to use Microsoft Word to its full potential (style sheets - who knew?) 
• How to set out files for developers 

Things I need to improve on: 

• Not eating everything in the cupboards when working from home 
• Not going to cafe to work and drinking my bodyweight in coffee 
• Getting rid of those first day nerves 
• Everything else (after all, there's always something new to learn).
