I make $200k from freelance. I want to help you... → Make more money → Feel more aligned w/ how you find work → Build your own $200k network If you want support with any of these, head here → fullharbor.kit.com/200knewsl…

Can you make $200k as a freelance motion designer?

I'm out here trying to see if it's possible, to see what it takes, and to share with you what I am learning along the way.

Or said another way... when you find yourself not having fun... does that have a negative impact? Or are you just cool doing work and not having fun?

Super random, but... I copied (by eye, not tracing) this @Japanesehouse album cover in Illustrator. And I was just looking at the tiny version on my tv 😅 Fun exercise. Also... such a goddamn good album.

this works for companies too instead of trying to be a genius and do something new to grow your company, first ask: “what are we doing that’s stupid as hell, that we should just stop doing?”

Currently stewing on this dichotomy: → I do better work under intense time pressure. → I want to stop trading health for wealth.

TFW you join a scheduled meeting and no one is there so you frantically check your calendar, then your email, then your calendar again just to make sure you're in the right place at the right time and not, in fact, going crazy.

After Effects keyboard shortcut of the day: Option ' = turn on/off proportional grid I inherited a project where every comp had proportional grid on and it was driving me nuts to have to click the grid option button then toggle it off.
