Previous Episode: Copywriter Anna Rogan

Next Episode: Graphic Designer Liz Mosley

This is actually the fourth time Jackson’s been freelance. He’s not just quit jobs, he even once quit his own company.

But whereas the other times he was a ‘regular’ graphic designer, this time he’s spent a decade as a specialist: a lettering artist and calligrapher.

Regularly posting to Instagram and Behance got him noticed and grew an audience as commissions from around the world reached him at his home in Brazil.

He’s since launched online courses, prints, fonts and NFT collections, building his reputation so he can work when he wants around his family. There’s no sign of him quitting this time around.
