“
Personal projects can be fully and completely your voice. It's the perfect way to represent what you want to do as a designer. When you can showcase work that is 100% you and hasn't been filtered through the client, you'll attract the type of client that wants your style.

“I’m positive that I wouldn’t have gotten my first great clients if I hadn’t had that mindset to just create, create, create no matter what. There’s a lot of freedom in realizing that you don’t need to wait around for dream clients to give you great projects – you can create them yourself!”
- ABBEY MCGREW, WAYFARER DESIGN

I continue to self generate projects so that I am constantly updating my website and social media with new illustrations.”
