Anne got into web development in 2010 and eventually found that coding for email was her sweet spot. She worked in permanent roles for years while freelancing on the side, and then her cat got diagnosed with cancer and she went freelance full-time to be with him.
It turned out to be great timing for Anne. She’d been involved in ‘Email Geek’ communities online, and by being active, helpful and enthusiastic about her work, her name got around and she was picking up bigger clients.
She chats to Steve about where her work comes from now, how she manages her time, her experience of attending and speaking at events, and how she avoids distraction in her work by getting herslef into the ‘Code Zone’.
