Always learning - Learning Experience Designer Cath Ellis
Cath started out trialling freelance work alongside a full-time job. Within a month, she’d left the job behind and gone freelance full-time. Cath chats about working flexibly from the deck of a cruise ship, speaking at an event in Las Vegas, using plugins and apps to create quotes and proposals, and what it’s like to be always learning.

Show Notes
When she found herself knocking back freelance opportunities every week, Cath left her full-time job behind to start a business.
Her only regret?
Not having done it sooner.
Cath’s been lucky in that she’s not had to search for work. Through SEO, website strategy, and word of mouth, she’s moved from one job to the next and worked with an array of international clients.
And one of the biggest benefits of having no boss, Cath says, is the freedom to learn and develop in your own way.
“I’d rather be an innovator than be following everyone else. I’m busier than ever but I’m learning more than ever.”
