In our interview series, The Freelancers, we dive into the challenging world of self-employment; discussing the highs, lows and day-to-day requirements of freelancing at different design studios and brands as a career choice. For the fourth entry in the series, we spoke to Josh Lassen. For some designers, the freelance life is a meticulously curated and gradual process. For many others – Lassen included – it arrives spontaneously without much warning! Having worked at many wonderful studios, from Wolff Olins to Nomad, the London-based creative tells us about full-time freelancing and shares some of his top tips for having fun, figuring out finances and finding the best-fit studios.
