The Freelancers: “This flexibility means a lot to me.” Kevin Högger shares the perks of freelancing

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 thirteenth entry in the series, we caught up with Kevin Högger whose progression in design has – very literally – taken him across the globe and back again. Now based in Zurich, the graphic designer details the impact of contemporary Swiss design on his practice, the numerous benefits of being his own boss, and why working in a studio, immersed in a vibrant creative community and a collaborative atmosphere, not only amplifies the quality of his work but significantly boosts his wellbeing. PT: Hi Kevin, how’s life in Zurich? KH: Hi there! I can’t complain, thank you. Spring is around the corner, and soon we can swim in Lake Zurich and the rivers around it. How are you?
