“I was struggling with how to push myself to be more confident as a designer and a person. I also struggled with knowing what is included in becoming a boss lady and how to run a business successfully. The course exceeded my expectations! I found my transformation had more to do with learning the ins and outs of what is included in being a freelancer — how to work out what you should be charging and working out an income that will be sustainable enough to run a business.

Leah has made me realise how I can value myself as a designer. And also encouraged me to dream big! We should not be scared of dreaming big!”

“Before Freelance Untangled, I didn’t even believe starting my own business was a feasible goal. I knew there were YouTube videos and blogs out there that could help get me started but I lacked the motivation to draw from all those different sources and pull it all together to form one cohesive learning opportunity. Basically I was overwhelmed and didn’t know where or how to even start.

This course went above & beyond any expectations I had. I did not expect to come out of the course with a business plan, pricing structure, project management tools and the confidence to just get started! I now have the tools and systems to work through a job, as well as a much deeper understanding of my value as a designer to a client. I have more insight into why I want to do this and what kind of designer I want to be. I also now have a vision for the future and it feels realistic for the first time which is so exciting!”

“Working as an in-house designer whilst completing this course was extremely helpful as it allowed me to compare freelancing with being employed. This course was an excellent representation of what freelance work truly is like. It was a huge benefit to my professional development and I feel that I now have all the skills and tools required to succeed on my own.

The course also supported me in securing and completing my first paid freelance job! Leah’s encouragement helped me to feel extremely confident in my work and ability to succeed as a freelancer, despite still being a student.I loved how authentic and personal it felt, from start to finish. Everything about it from the visual identity to the written content was very Leah and that made it entirely unique.”

Before doing the course, I was winging it and super unsure of myself and how I would manage freelancing life. Thank goodness for Freelance Untangled, because it literally untangled everything I needed bit by bit so I could start relaxing and trusting the process more.

It was so nice to ease into everything at a pace that was easily manageable and I could take all the gold and apply it straight away to my first client. It was great to have Leah’s support and hear that she’d been in the same situation from the beginning. Her encouragement, zest for business and believing in us was really refreshing and gave me such a confidence boost. I now have a roadmap of how to handle things, as well as the best set of notes and gold nuggets to look back on if I feel stuck. I feel like I can actually go ahead now and just begin. I’m inspired to get my name out there!”
