Motion That Moves, Going Freelance, Betting on Yourself, Leaving Certainty Behind — Justin Sottile
from WHAT DOES YOUR MUM THINK · host Kristian Shepherd
We sit down with Justin Sottile — multidisciplinary creative, motion designer, illustrator, he does a lot! We have an honest conversation about betting on yourself and leaving certainty behind. Justin opens up about discovering motion design, building his career through curiosity and self-initiated work, and the decision to leave the security of a senior role to go freelance.We explore the difference between motion that simply looks good and work that genuinely moves people, the realities of building a client base, and why being multidisciplinary has opened more doors rather than closed them. Expect honest lessons on self-doubt, moonlighting, trusting your instincts and knowing when it’s time to leave something good for something uncertain.There will never be a perfect time to take the leap. Confidence comes from doing the work, not waiting until you feel ready.Want more from Justin?
