Starting to think of going off on my own to do brand, design, creative campaign consulting & freelance. Would love to get a sense for the demand out there of companies or teams looking to bring on very experienced creatives on a part time basis, to help build teams, brand strategy or rebrands, website redesigns, campaigns etc.

Bay Area freelance design lead here - the demand for experienced design consultants has been consistent and steady for me throughout the pandemic and even now as tech companies are laying people off. The "temporary" nature of freelance contracts, I think, is appealing to creative teams facing hiring freezes but still have goals and deadlines to meet.

Fellow introverts...can I only advance in my career if I take on a leadership role? The thought of this terrifies me. My current boss hasn't exactly given me the confidence that would reassure me that I'm leadership material. He constantly questions my design choices, which I'm able to defend. It doesn't help that he always presents outdated ideas and throws UX out the window. I know that I know my stuff and keep up with best practices. I have 4+ years experience but am treated as entry level.
