Show Notes
After graduating in 2008 during the Great Recession, Tatiana found herself looking for a next step that would make sense financially. Calling on the design skills she’d picked up as a kid, she started out freelance, sending personalised “Do you need a designer?” emails to everyone she knew.
Tatiana’s come a long way since then, finding her focus as an independent designer who works with accessibility and inclusion in mind.
Hear her talk about speaking internationally, working in a way that allows her to protect her health, and her approach to providing content that’s free to all, but still helps to bring in some cash.
