How to crack content design contracting (Slater Katz)

Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Do you enjoy the podcast? Please leave a review!  Getting into content design is hard enough, but contracting roles are a different struggle altogether. While they can be lucrative (potentially depending where you live) they're also difficult to crack.  But they're also a necessary struggle to understand - often the way to start a content design career is to begin with some contracting roles.  Today's guest is a content design contracting queen. Alliteration!  Slater Katz has worked as content designer for Netflix, Chime, Verizon, Fitbit, and more. Not only can I vouch for her content design skills (she's worked with us at UXCC for a bit) but she's unique in that she understands how business goals and design goals intersect - a rare skill. And she understands personal branding better than anyone in the biz, in my opinion. In this interview we discuss content design contracting, how to improve your personal brand, what makes a great contractor stand out, and why asking questions when you start isn't a sign of weakness - it's a strength.
