Happy 2009! (well…almost)

29th December 2008

Bloody what a year 2008 has been! Of all the time I’ve had as a full-time-self-employed/part-time-self-employed freelance designer the last 12 months has been the best yet. I’m not planning to launch into a ‘what did it all mean’ analysis of everything I’ve done since January and whether or not I’ve achieved my goals, but I thought since I never managed a pre-Xmas post then what better way to wrap up the year.

Among other things in 2008 I was privileged enough to be involved with projects like amazingtunes and experience working with an Internet start-up and be involved with smaller side projects like Design Forums. This year hasn’t been easy but it has been busy, unrealistically busy, so busy I’ve had to put some of my personal projects totally on hold to make room for everything else, but the fact is I’ve enjoyed every single minute of it (even the long hours).

I’m really looking forward to (getting this holiday period over and) making a start on 2009. Already in the pipeline is an exciting project with the guys at Hedgehog Labs, continuing with both Rufus and amazingtunes as well as some non-freelance related projects involving Rebelo, plus getting all these other things off the back burner.

I’d just like to say a massive huge thank you to everyone I’ve work with over the past 12 months and to all the clients who’ve been nice enough to give me their business.

See you all in the new year!
