    #03 How to Build a Graphic Design Business From Scratch - Abi Connick's Journey to Success

    If you’re a freelance graphic designer who’s ever felt lost, stuck, or unsure where to start, this episode might just be what you needed. I have a raw and honest conversation with Abi Connick, a self-taught graphic designer and creative entrepreneur who went from charging £10 for logos and freelancing from her bedroom, to building a thriving online design business, enormous social media audience, and a life travelling the world on her own terms.But nothing about Abi’s journey was easy or linear. She lost her job. Had no business plan. And started putting herself out there before she had it all figured out.In this episode, we talk about:🔥 How Abi found her first clients with zero strategy🔥 Juggling 20+ clients a month and avoiding burnout🔥 Creating content while still learning herself🔥 Turning a shed studio into a global brand🔥 Discipline, imposter syndrome, and staying consistent🔥 And… yes, the time she blocked me on Instagram 😅🤙 Follow Abi Connick:INSTAGRAM: @itsabiconnick YOUTUBE: @abiconnick🔗 USEFUL LINKS from this episode!
