Would you happen to have any tips to freelancing and getting gigs? I’m currently looking for work as a UI/UX designer (got promoted to product designer 6 months in) I am also a full stack dev primarily on front end.

I was recently let go from my role a day shy of a year for my annual increase to $90k because they had budget cuts. (I have 5 years in front end web development, but 10+ in design)

What are some things that helped this growth?

Thank you so much 😊 I appreciate the advice!
