Vision & Graft

In Episode 10 of Vision & Graft I'm chatting to Hannah Lee, a designer I've had the pleasure of working alongside on a variety of projects over the last ten years and for the ten years prior to that we went to college and school together. Hannah is someone I've often gone to for professional advice and she has a great deal of career wisdom to share. In the episode Hannah and I discuss the merits of freelancing and she shares what the experience is like compared to 'perming' at an agency. She also covers the money trap and how being in full time employment can lead to this if you don't watch out. We then go on to discuss burnout and how to find the right work life balance. Hannah has realised that she needs to strive to maintain that balance if she wants to be effective at work and she also covers working abroad as a freelancer and finding the balance far from home. Saying no is a big topic on this podcast and we discuss this in the context of charging what you are worth and we mull over how to get to the point where what you consistently charge aligns with what you think your skills are worth. Hannah also raises an important point about women in powerful roles within advertising and how she has been working on improving her confidence to keep progressing and growing in her career. During the break I announce a competition I'm running alongside Rosco to win a Rosco MIXBOOK Digital Swatchbook.
