Hanging out your Shingle: Panel on Independent Contracting

Ever thought about “going independent?” Are you considering hiring an independent contractor? There’s plenty to think about before taking the leap. Join Refresh Austin and UXPA for a discussion about freelancing and hear from local designers and researchers with independent practices.

We'll hear from Rebecca Loar, Eric Nordquist, Tori Breitling and Scott Thomsen. Reyda Taylor will moderate.

Big thanks to this month's sponsor, Wealthsimple!
