My Graphic Design game had improved, I was trying multiple strategies to improve how I put myself forward to people.

My first $1000+ project in 2020
Got in touch with a UK based agency who created designs for Fitness Coaches
Worked with a Photography Agency based in Australia, learnt a lot about layouts and mini-videos from the Founder (@creativelysquared)
Also got a few $500+ projects, decent for a university student who just started
