Create your own personal freelance design website where you showcase your work. The work does not have to be published yet. Remember a website is judged by functionality and aesthetics so you don’t need to publish every tool or plugin. Pick several industries/companies you want to market to through social and digital media. And practice your website & social/digital media analytics.

Marketing and selling “you” is the most important website you will design. Ask for feedback but don’t abandon your ideas. Research popular designs and trends but add “you” into the mix. Your freelance career is now moving forward.
