My Freelance Journey — 3 Years, Countless Projects, & Working with Big-Name Clients

Today this video is recapping my journey as a freelancer the last 3 years -- and a lot of great work to show from it. In this long-ass video (sorry LOL), I'm covering how I first started, what each year looked like in an overview, and my top 5 favorite projects I've worked on in that time. Thanks to everyone who’s watching, I hope it was insightful / fun for any other freelancers or creatives out there! Here’s to year 4! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resources & Mentions Freelance and Business and Stuff by Hoodzpah: https://hoodzpahdesign.com/product/fabas-freelance-business-book-print/ Animating a Character with School of Motion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojJUToDaVd0&t=1s Animated Iridescent Typography with School of Motion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DII-pIu1Krg&t=769s Cream Studio: https://wearecream.com/ My husband Justin (also a freelancer, but video wizardry): https://www.justinhavey.com/ Free stuff in my store: https://www.audreystemen.com/store ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timecodes 00:00 Intro 02:00 Preparing to go freelance 08:52 First year 12:45 Second year 13:57 YouTube Journey 20:12 YouTube / Website Stats 23:51 Third year 29:05 Project #5: Graduate Hotels 33:51 Project #4: CoCreate with Adobe Max 38:18 Project #3: Cream Studio Animated Banner 42:30 Project #2: Phoenix Suns 48:00 Project #1: Riot Games 58:00 Wrap Up
