New Year New Attitude
Getting through 2008 was a challenge, but I think going through 2009 would be even harder! Many of my fellow designers/developers are facing the toughest time in their career, I would think. With this global economic meltdown, it is a difficult challenge to find a job, while employers are downsizing to stay afloat this financial mess.
The upside of this mess is that , fortunately, many of these talented designers are focusing with their freelances. This is the beauty of being designer/developer, if you don't have any employer, you employ yourself! You can create your own market! May be just start off with little projects from friends or family, there's always somebody who needs a website around you.
I am encouraging my friends to start collaborating and freelancing at the same time. You will be surprised to find out what you know and what you think you know. I've been collaborating and bouncing ideas with Karim Zurita on our personal projects. And it's more like another set of eyes and opinions, instead of rivals, or competitor who are trying to steal your secret or idea. It's a great way to improve our designs and skills.
