Go Freelance: The First 90 Days
Friday, September 4 at 9:00 AM (Los Angeles) · 45 min
MKHosted by Matt Karakilic
Director of User Experience @ Omnia Consulting Ltd.
What actually changes when you leave full-time employment — pricing your first projects, finding and vetting clients, and the mistakes that sink most new freelancers in year one. Including how to position yourself when you have the skills and the leads but not the years-of-experience résumé employers expect. This is for designers seriously considering the leap, not just curious about it. $10 to join — not about the money, it's a skin-in-the-game filter so the room is people who'll actually show up and work. Once 5+ people have signed up, all proceeds from that session go toward one free 1:1 coaching session with me, which I'll give to whoever's signup answer shows the clearest 'here's exactly where I'm stuck.' I'll announce it at the end.
Mentors and mentees are both welcome. It's a mentor session, just with company.
No AI notetakers, please. Read AI, Otter, Fireflies, Fathom and similar record everyone and email the whole room afterwards. If yours auto-joins from your calendar, turn it off for this session.
