3 Reasons You Should Not Be a Non Profit Designer
Being a designer can be a tough thing by itself!

But not everyone can make the cut, and not everyone is meant to be a designer specifically in [...]
Got Extra Time (and a Big Heart)? Join Good World Creative
I love this idea. Good World Creative is essentially a collaboration of creative individuals, businesses and nonprofits propelling the world forward through quality design, photography and brand.

The moment you enter the freelancing space you are instantly challenged with tons of time management issues, one of which is finding that “sweet” spot in terms of your productivity.

Ministry Freelancers: What Apps Are You Using?
I would definitely define a part of what I do as freelancing in the ministry segment and space – it’s a different life and it’s fun (and challenging) to mix up the demands of non-profits and other small businesses while considering the spiritual side of things.
