Illustrator start-up guide
Two and half years ago I took the final plunge of working for myself and I can never look back. I used to think I can't be a full time illustrator, because everyone's just handing out graphic design gigs. But then everything changed, I took the leap and positioned myself as an Illustrator.
Don't get me wrong, I've had super tough days and months, but having certain strategies in place to get you started will most defs put you in a place to thrive.
Had a salary of max $1600 a month, now I'm averaging on $5k months. This year (2024) my projected income is double that. Yes, I'm very ambitious.

With 10 years of experience as a designer and illustrator, I decided to create courses from my own experiences and everything I've learned along the way!
I started my freelance career in 2017 and I'm still going strong. By saying that, I was still doing retainer work that took up a lot of my time. So in 2021 I went completely freelance, it was hella-daunting but so rewarding at the same time.
After many struggles to find the right way to do this thing, I've now create my own blue print that helped me to double my income in a year.
