I’ve now worked as a freelancer for 7 years. It goes without saying for any business owner that those first few years in business are a steep learning curve, but those challenges are definitely important steps to make you a better, more competent and stronger asset to any clients you wish to work with. One …
I’m embarking on a new chapter. A new phase of life and work I’ve been curious to dip my toes into. My youngest is starting nursery and I feel ready and able to not only dip my toes, but dive into it with vigour. ED Creative was my first baby back in 2015. The first …
I’m as bad as the rest of them. New year chimes and the list of empty promises is drawn up for a new me. Healthier, fitter, better. It always starts well, and I question why it took so long to see the error of my ways. But as the weeks role on I sink back …
