By attending an AIGA event, you agree to abide by the Code of Conduct.
Join us virtually on Thursday, August 13 at Noon for a special guest presentation from Heather Willems, founder & owner of TwoLine Studios, as she leads the group on this discussion to reflect on your freelance journey and how reflection helps us lay the groundwork for “what comes next?”.
In this meeting Heather will share her experiences and journey as a freelancer to owning and running a mini-agency, her time spent in New York compared to where she’s at today, back in Minnesota. Attendees can expect to answer the following questions: How do you define success as a freelancer? What does success look like in freelancing? And Heather will lead the group in a couple exercises to help you get started in visualizing where you’re at today and what’s your vision for the future.
Walk away with some new ideas or reminders on how to tackle the concept of success in your work. Whether you’re new to freelancing, have been solo for a while, or are a seasoned solopreneur vet, this meetup will provide an opportunity to engage with each other, yourselves, and short Q&A to wrap up!
About Heather Willems:

Heather Willems is a business strategist, graphic facilitator, and bestselling co-author of Draw Your Big Idea. She co-founded her first company, ImageThink, a graphic recording firm in Brooklyn, and built it into one of the most recognized in the country. That work took her to 15 countries and onto stages like SXSW, The Atlantic, Columbia Business School, and The Today Show. Her work has been featured in publications like Forbes, Inc., Entrepreneur, and The Wall Street Journal.
Then she redefined what success meant for her, and founded TwoLine Studios. Today she partners with executive leaders at Fortune 100 brands and mission-driven organizations, designing and facilitating workshops, visual storytelling, and the tough conversations that move teams forward. Twenty years in, she knows success isn’t something you define once. It’s something you keep defining as you grow.
