The Freelancers: Whitney Badge details the inspirations and insights behind her creative practice

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 sixth entry in the series, we spoke to Whitney Badge. Working with Natasha Jen at Pentagram at the time of writing, the New York-based designer tells us all about her route to freelance life alongside the experiences that have shaped her perspective and practice so far. PT: Hi Whitney! How’s everything going? WB: Hello! I’m happy to be included in this series. I’ve been a bit busy lately, but I’m slowly finding a better cadence in my work. I would have never imagined being able to sustain work independently, but I feel very thankful that I have.
