Documenting the process - Data Visualisation Designer Nadieh Bremer
Nadieh’s first client was Google. After sharing a personal project online, Google got in touch to ask if she’d like to work with them. She said yes, because she couldn’t not, and went freelance from there. She chats to Steve about what’s happened since, including building an online network, speaking at conferences and continuing to share her work and talk about her process.

Show Notes
Nadieh was working full-time when she launched a personal project with a friend. They documented the process closely, sharing in-depth blog posts that explained the hows and whys behind their decisions. Six months later, Google reached out to them and became a first client. And so Nadieh’s freelance story begins.
She talked to friends, read books, got an accountant and started putting herself out there. She kept sharing those in-depth blog posts and soon started speaking at events.
“I’m not a person that does sales,” Nadia says. Instead, she shows what she can do and hopes that people who like it will get in touch.
And it’s working for her this far. Tune in to hear her story.
