DAILY INSPIRATION ON INSTAGRAM

“Everyday we have a choice” love this wisdom from illustrator @abbiepaulhus
Monica Obaga (@monicaobaga) is a Kenyan graphic designer and illustrator, currently based in Los Angeles. Up until 2015, she was the founding Head of Digital Marketing at Buni.tv, Africa’s first online VOD channels, and the first to be acquired by a media giant in 2016. She has a special interest in projects that promote the diversity of artistic self-expression in the African community and is currently writing and illustrating her first book. We love her colorful and whimsical style and her commitment to promoting diversity in the illustration world! Link in profile 💕
Happy Monday ladies! I think any independent creative can relate to this feeling. Art by @adamjk
Exciting to see the new skincare & wellness business @wileybody come to life by two of our former designer interviewees @janereaction & @noirve ❤️ Of course the branding is on point! We love to see the amazing things that our community is up to on our #fwportfolio tag
Just a little Sunday motivation from last week’s interviewee @annnacharity 🙌🏽
Hope you are having a nice weekend! Love this sketchbook series by former interviewee @ohkiistudio
So saddened by the loss of a true creative visionary. Her tragic passing truly shows how we never know what is going on behind the scenes. Part of why I created this website and subsequent community was so that isolated women freelancers wouldn’t feel so alone, because honestly I needed that. I needed to know that other creative women were going through similar struggles and that I would always have a place to ask questions and get feedback and support. Let’s be real and loving and have a heck of a lot of fun too in honor of Kate ❤️ quote re-post from @sycamore_co
Happy Monday ladies! Excited to share our wonderful interview with the funny and talented @annnacharity the creative director and illustrator behind amazing meditation app @headspace ✨ we loved learning about her journey and what inspires her + her honest advice for aspiring creatives. Link in profile!
🙌🙌 wise words from this week’s interviewee Kiffanie Stahle of @theartistsjd - Kiff is a lawyer for creatives and we highly suggest checking out her informative interview! Link in profile.
Do you feel completely overwhelmed by the prospect of setting up your business in a legally-sound way?? You are not alone, most of us creative types are not exactly well-versed in how to write (and read) contracts, set up a new business venture, or negotiate a licensing deal. Which is why I am so excited to share our interview this week with Kiffanie Stahle of @theartistsjd - she is a lawyer (and photographer!) that specifically works with creative people and her interview is a must-read! Head over the link in our profile to learn about the big mistakes you might be making in setting up a legally sound business and the steps you can take to fix it. || Image by @honorcreative via #fwportfolio
