- Keep focus on the UX/UI projects, lots of demand rn for these
- Do some longer case studies it seems these attract lots of attention (ex: https://medium.com/@graciahills1… )
- Add more "about me" info to the folio
- get testimonials from successful old projects and add them after each case study, as social proof is very important for freelancers
- get a profile on https://read.cv
- get a profile on https://angel.co/
- split the "studio" in 2 websites, one for brand work, one for UX/UI
- go on dribbble, post consistently, can be anything really, old logos, bits of UI, etc. but keep it consistently (if you want a invite, I can send you one right now)
- go on linkedin, post stuff that you find interesting about UX/UI and/or branding (but all work related, not the content we post here on QBN) and ofc post actual work you did (even if old but if still looks good, post it) - as linkedin has amazing organic reach!
- find on linkedin HR people that offer to do test interviews or mentorships so you can get some interview training, or at least practice how you'd answer common interview questions
- think about real hard about your rates/how much to charge and how to negotiate a good salary
- get on twitter and follow "design twitter" people, they post often new opportunities and always comment on those with your new folio
