Is the office operational now?
I’m in between projects. I have been for a while now. So if anyone is looking for a freelance copy and u/x writer, put me in coach! I’m available to work.
Check out my portfolio and let me know if we’re a good profit match.

I’m also open to feedback on my portfolio. Thanks!

Isn’t it sad how much better our student work often is than our “professional work” with hundreds of thousands of dollars behind each campaign? I’ve kinda stopped caring about what my book should/shouldn’t be. I just think it’s cool if our books reflect the work we like to make and are proud of. However, I prefer to have mostly client work in my book considering a talking point I often have in interviews is how I was able to sell that idea through to the client.
Yeah I feel that and experience that often. Creativity is very subjective. I also think younger creatives have different taste than many CDs and ECDs. Maybe some of those ideas you like can become passion projects. I think those look better in your book rather than spec work.
Define “a little while.” 2-3 years? Ok. Five or more that’s on you. If you don’t have produced work from the agency then offer up your services to an indie bookstore or make some pro-bono anti-gun thing (you know, like FCB does every year) so you can replace your student projects.
Those pro Bono anti gun things are only for elite few seniors at FCB 🤣
Yeah but try to make real side projects too if you’re finding it hard to make real good work.
