Freelance UX champions on the move

Do you have questions about being or becoming a freelancer? Here is your chance to learn all about it!
This edition is special with two UX champions who have been working in the field since the 90s! They both started their career as Interaction Designers which is still a strong expertise in design, the mother of UX you might say:)

Both have been freelancing on and off for over 15 years and they will take you along their freelance road trip; turning points, failures, joys, and pains. Freelancing is a true career choice, with pitfalls, setbacks, challenges, and achievements all of its own.

And never a dull moment, that's for sure!
