Yesterday, I spent the afternoon working in person with inspiring humans from Unthinkable Digital.
As a freelancer who works across different departments and disciplines, handling large and complex projects can be overwhelming at times.
(*insert relative, descriptive term)
I’ve been a freelance designer for nearly 12 months, and although this isn’t the first time working for myself, the last year has felt very different from my previous solo adventures. I’m more experienced, comfortable with quieter periods, and much clearer on what I actually do. Or at least I thought I was.
Over the last few months, I have taken a pause, a mini-sabbatical if you like. It’s been a chance to spend time recharging and not having to be anywhere or be anyone other than Dad, Husband or Son. This time has provided me with space to reflect on my past career and consider how I want to spend my time moving forward and where I can offer the most value to others.
Along with many others, this has been my last day at FutureLearn. I sent the message below internally, but there are so many brilliant people who have previously worked at FutureLearn that I want them to know what they’ve meant to me.
