But I realize that writing about the practical things such as what type of business structure to choose, or about css and javascript tricks and tips, are somewhat limiting. If the goal is to help on the path to success, then a large part of that is simply to inspire. There is no getting around it – you have to be inspired to reach real success in this. So I will be including not only informational and practical articles, but hopefully articles that inspire and compel readers to action.

This blog will chronicle that transition from full-time employee to freelancing employer. From taking the first steps to running a thriving design shop, I hope to cover all aspects of what it takes to run a digital-design agency. If you, the reader, have any questions at all, or if you would like to for me to write on any specific topic, please don’t hesitate to contact me!

I love what I do, being involved in digital design, and I want to help others who share the same goal of working for themselves as web designers, developers and graphic artists. If just one blog post of mine provides the encouragement or inspiration someone needs to get started on their own, then my design diary has succeeded.
