Graphic designer — Freelance Insights

This Freelance Insights interview features Meg Harrop, a brand stylist and designer who helps business owners develop their brand identity.

I started following Meg on Instagram a few months ago because she was working with a fellow translator on her new branding. I soon found myself liking every one of her posts, from insights into her design process to her portfolio of client work and her helpful tips on running a business that is authentic and honest. Meg is a wonderful example of how to do Instagram right.

Meg usually works 1:1 with clients on their branding, but she’s scaling that back over the next few months to start selling digital products online that will be of use to both her current client base and fellow designers. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with!

If you haven’t got much of a budget but you feel like your branding could be more professional or consistent, or that you want to make your freelance business convey more of YOU as a person, Meg’s Blossoming Brand Blueprint is for you. It’s a 3-step guide that walks you through the whole process of creating a brand for your business, and she’s offering it for free!

Maddie Ace - Content and Advocacy Artist

This Freelance Insights interview features Maddie Ace, a content and advocacy artist whose freelance work includes graphic design and social media marketing.

Maddie also happens to be one of my best friends from university. It’s been 10 years since we met and lived together and, despite both moving continents for love, we’re still in touch and both running freelance businesses!

Alongside her freelance work, she is a champion of openness and honesty around mental health. Follow Maddie on Instagram for a refreshing insight into the reality of living with mental health struggles. Far from the highlight reel that is most people’s grid, Maddie shares what her life really looks like and what helps her cope on a day-to-day basis.
