Hiring freelance designers, especially from different parts of the world, potentially involves risk of miscommunication and delays due to time zone mismatches. Privacy is another critical issue. Sharing sensitive company assets with individuals who aren't bound by the same legal agreements as a full-time employees can be risky, quality of work may also vary. There are plenty of talented freelancers out there, but a low budget shouldn't be the reason for choosing one. Subscription design services can help you hire local UK talent with a price equivalent to a junior designer salary! Check out https://nulla.studio/ and get yourself a design department with a local time zone and privacy in mind.

Many think working with freelance designers is hard. But it doesn’t have to be complicated. The key lies in having a clear creative brief. -Without a brief, misunderstandings are common -Projects can face delays and rework -Expectations can be misaligned, causing frustration A clear creative brief transforms this process. -It sets clear project goals and timelines -It aligns expectations from the start -It streamlines collaboration, even remotely We recently started working with an awesome new freelance designer (hey Cara!). She is based in the Philippines, and we work in Taiwan. Despite the distance, working with her has been incredible, thanks to our clear, structured creative brief. Want seamless remote collaboration? Start with a clear brief. #remotework #freelance #design #workfromanywhere

5 things most design agencies won’t tell you: ( but I will ) 1. Many are just freelancers teaming up for big projects. 2. You’re paying for the agency’s name, not the size of the team. 3. Their “specialist” may be working on other clients’ projects too. 4. They often hire contractors they’ve never met. 5. Bigger doesn’t mean better. Bonus: Hiring a small group of freelancers can give you the same result ( without the middleman ) Find this helpful? Share with others! ♻️ P.S. What’t do you think about design agencies?

Why Unpaid Work Is a No-Go for Freelance Designers Recently, I’ve noticed a growing trend of companies asking freelance designers to work a “trial period” for no pay. As freelancers, we bring a high level of skill, creativity, and experience to every project – so why should our efforts come without fair compensation? It’s time we, as designers, start valuing ourselves more. Working for free or accepting less than what our time is worth just to “bag a contract” or out of desperation undervalues not only our own work but our entire industry. Our time, skills, and ideas have real value. Working without compensation only sets a precedent that creative work is optional or worth less than other professional services. Instead, let’s advocate for fair practices: • Paid test projects – small, compensated tasks that assess fit and quality while respecting our time. • Portfolio reviews – allowing potential clients to see what we’re capable of without free labor. • Transparent expectations – open communication so both parties know it’s a match from day one. Freelancers, remember: We bring valuable skills and insights to each project. Clients, consider the difference in engagement and quality when you treat freelance partnerships as mutually beneficial from the start. Let’s respect our time, advocate for fair pay, and raise the standards for our industry. #freelancedesign #valuingyourwork #creativeindustry #fairpay

Flexibility During High Demand: The Power of Freelance Support in Creative Fields In creative industries, demand can rise suddenly. A new client, an unexpected project, or a tight deadline can mean a surge in workload. For studios, handling this spike can be challenging without adding pressure to the in-house team or taking on the costs of a full-time hire. This is where a freelancer can make all the difference. By partnering with experienced freelancers, studios gain the flexibility to expand their project capacity on demand, keeping momentum without overloading their core team. This setup lets the in-house experts stay focused on their primary tasks while freelancers can jump in to tackle the overflow or take on specialized, niche projects that need unique expertise. A freelancer isn’t just an extra pair of hands; they’re an adaptable resource that can adjust as the workload shifts, bringing fresh perspectives, skills, and efficiency without long-term commitments. It’s a win-win: the studio meets client demand smoothly, the in-house team keeps quality high, and the freelancer brings their specialized skills exactly when needed. Freelancers provide agility and flexibility, enabling studios to scale up or refocus as needed—all while keeping the creative quality clients expect What’s your experience with flexible freelance support?

Why are freelance prices higher than FTE? 🤔 Because brands don't have to: Pay for equipment (computer, software, etc) Pay for benefits (insurance, time off, etc) Pay for 40hrs/week, consistently Pay for taxes ❌ So, dear freelancer, raise those rates! 💸 💻 I'm hosting a *free* live training for freelance fashion designers 🤑 To help you find well-paying clients who value your services 📣 Comment 'TRAINING' below and I'll share the link

Here's a crazy notion Nassib El Mourabet, why don't we encourage our generous state-side cousins* to outsource more of their motion design work to the UK? We could split the difference in rates. Less spend for them, more (merited) bunce for us**. Not to mention the added motivational value that comes with feeling said experience and skills are being correctly recompensed. Also, don't forget we're 4-8 hours in the future USA! Win for us, double-win for you! *Joe Biden doesn't appear to be on LinkedIn though; he's probably busy with other stuff, but can't think what. **I'm not a Motion Designer per say, but a designer with motion skills.
