My job is fantastic. I get paid to sit and think of amazing things while I listen to music and chat with interesting people. When I put pen to paper, it’s to make something pretty. I rarely have to open Excel. And, unlike some fellow travellers, I get to feel like my work is a positive thing.

The downside is that a lot of my work is secret, so I can’t share it. A portfolio full of NDA makes finding work somewhat challenging, but it’s also frustrating to have put so much work into a project and to have to wait years to see it come to life. At the moment, I have 4 projects, representing the vast majority of my freelance career, somewhere in the concept development limbo.

I can’t wait for them to launch. Until they do, I’ll settle for sharing some of the less-secret secret stuff I’ve done.
