You did a great job here. I was totally fascinated and really needed to see this. I am busting at the seams! I am lost in Ohio and I am struggling to make it as a designer/illustrator. Fashion is dead here. I want work but, I cannot find it or don’t know how to find it. I just have to design. I just have to illustrate.
I used to have a design business- out of my house-but I kept getting the wrong customer…only alterations, little design work, little pay, noone wanted my full menu. But, I loved working with them and made efforts to go the extra mile and got some referrals. If you know what I can do to help……HELP! (I am getting that book!)
Thanks for this blog.

Zoe, you are a life saver. You answered the most important questions so simply. I am a designer that has offered too much for too little for too long. No more. Thanks

Hi Zoe,
It is really great for you to share all of this information. I just graduated fashion design and am working as a pattern maker, though it is not very creative. While I am putting in my time I dont want to loose my creative zest, I was thinking of some type of creative freelance- Do you have an advice?
