Thoughts on My First Year Freelance Web Designing

FEB 4th 2009 • 5 Comments

I recently completed my first whole year of freelance web designing, and I thought I would share my experiences. When I first started, I was desperate for someone to tell me what exactly I should be doing to get started, but I couldn't find any blog entries about the topic. So I'll attempt to lay out all the nitty gritty details of how I run my business in the hopes that someone may find it useful.

Life, Love & Happiness

JUL 12th 2008 • 2 Comments

I've been thinking a lot recently about my life, happiness, and yes, that mushy topic we all love.... love. I'm rather secluded being a freelancer. I've always been somewhat of an introvert.

I've got a co-op position at a Fortune 500 Chemical Company (Eastman). Well recently my supervisor (a really nice guy) has been after me to know what my long term goals are for the rest of my life. My co-op term ends in a month and he basically told me yesterday that he needs to know what my plans are so he can get the ball rolling on finding me a job there, if that's what I want. There's no guarantee for a job, but he still needs to know if I'm interested before I'll even be offered a job. I told him that I'm trying to pursue a full time career in the field of web design and development, and that's what I planned on doing over the summer. But he doesn't seem to understand why. I'm not sure how to tell him flat out in a polite way, "No, I don't ever want to work here".
