By attending an AIGA event, you agree to abide by the Code of Conduct.

This month, the Solos are talking tools & tech that they love! Well, “love” may be a strong word, but at the very least, we’ll be sharing about the tools that hopefully help make our lives as freelancers easier, more efficient, or streamline some parts of our process.

Across all the design & creative disciplines, there seem to be more platforms than ever to do our work, connect with clients, and run our businesses. From the design-specific to project management to invoicing & payments.

But not all are created equal — learning curves, licensing, ownership, and pricing/fee subscriptions — some platforms are tried & true while others aren’t the right fit. And maybe there is a tool or two that you’ve changed your stance on! (Canva? Figma? I know we have some Adobe purists out there.)

Join us for our March virtual meetup to discuss all these tools, talk about the ones you’re excited about, and learn about ones your peers are using that may be worth a try.

Leah Meilander
Chair of Solopreneurs
I am Freelance Visual Designer, Illustrator, and Lettering Artist based in Bloomington, MN. I have over a decade of experience with brand identities, designing for print & digital, website design and event design.

Through my art & design studio, That's Goodness Design, I offer design services and sell my original artwork. A lot of my custom hand-drawn work appears in my client projects.

When I’m not designing or drawing, I enjoy climbing/bouldering, lifting, going to movies, and hanging out with family & friends.
