In this episode of Ditch the Struggle we dive into:

  • An overview of my design jobs from post-graduation to present
  • How I bounced around jobs and freelance gigs
  • Making $320/week at my first “job job” at a record label
  • The best job in my design career (so far)
  • How your resume should not dictate your career choices
  • The cosmetic industry job I REALLY, really wanted - and got
  • How a non-linear career has been fulfilling to me and just what I needed (and wanted)
