My Journey so far
I haven’t had the typical route to becoming a successful freelancer.
I’m self-taught, teaching myself how to use photoshop & edit websites over weekends and helping friends and family with digital projects.
Over the years, I gained a bunch of experience. I grew up doing bar work until I got my first job at Shopblocks, an e-commerce web design agency. I stayed with them for 2 years before my departure where I worked some freelance projects. Following this, I spent some time moving around the country and enjoying the start of my 20s.
Moving forwards I joined an Insurance company, Alps, as a claims handler. This was until the current Head of Marketing noticed the skills I could over and named me to take her place managing all marketing and media.
Alps has been amazing with nurturing my growth and development and I now look forward to also working freelance.
