An umbrella of skills - Experience Designer Stefano Bellucci Sessa

“Be the best boss you ever had,” says Stefano, and he’s trying to live up to that himself. From not letting an employer’s limits hold him back, to re-imagining work-life balance on his own terms, to developing a portfolio that’s not just about winning work, but about showing his journey too; Stefano tries to make his professional development and mental well-being a priority. With an “umbrella of skills” and a professional title that doesn’t tie him to one specific job, Stefano’s able to build deeper, longer-term relationships with clients. He chats to Steve about he got started, how he finds clients, and how he’s worked on his mindset and well-being throughout his freelance career.
