Graphic Designer Victoria O'May
Brazilian creative Victoria was working in advertising in London when in 2013 she fancied a change. A change of pace, country and language, and to help her do that she figured she’d go freelance in Spain. After 3 years she took a job in an agency. Four years on she felt ready to freelance again. A pandemic and motherhood making the flexibility of working from home even more appealing. Second time around Victoria felt much more prepared. In her positioning, her processes, her dealings with clients… in running her own business.
