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

This October our Solopreneurs virtual meetup will cover Self-Promotion and Finding/Winning New Business and we will be joined by two fantastic guest speakers – Heather Olson, Founder of Soladay Olson, and Janice Stanford, CEO/Owner of Flygirl Creative.

Based on our annual survey, many Solos said they find that having consistent work is the most challenging part of freelancing, and would love to learn more about how to promote themselves/their work and what best practices/strategies there may be to find and win new clients.

Heather & Janice will tackle the topics of personal branding, self promotion, finding new work, and winning new projects from their experiences in their creative careers and respective perspectives as a marketing coach & talent recruiter (Heather) and owning/running a creative agency (Janice). At the end of the presentation, there will be time for Q&A.

Be sure to join us for an insightful presentation and discussion on Thursday, October 9 at Noon!

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.
