So my life is almost all business, all year, every year – only more so for part of it. I’m sure you can see that this simply isn’t a sustainable way to live and work, no matter how much I love what I do. Working so much harms my health, my relationships and my ability to enjoy the world around me. As I get older this will only get harder. And in spite of working so hard, like many self-employed designers I’m often barely scraping by financially.
