Salon: Running a Healthy Freelance Business During the Recession

This event is sold out. We look forward to seeing you at upcoming Salons!

Join AIGA DC and freelance design expert Angela Terry as we discuss methods for developing a successful freelance business. In this members-only Salon, we will uncover ways to create an adjustable business plan and important things to consider when starting a business. We’ll also discuss where to look for clients and how to build relationships with connections you already have.

Bring your own experiences to share with the group and get your burning questions answered as we share ideas on running a freelance business.
