Design & Yap | 04 | Should You Freelance In 2025? 💻 FT. Vooglam

Описание: This Design and Yap turned into a whole venting session about being a freelance designer in today's economy. Today I designed a menu for a sandwich shop based in Seattle. WA. I discussed a few articles that really got my brain turning about today's design industry. Yapping about AI taking creative jobs, fake job posting on threads, and about my own personal frustrations with job hunting. I also give motivation for anyone feeling down in this season of waiting.
