🎉 One year ago, I registered my very own business: attabird - a Web Design and Webflow development studio. Before that, I was deep in the UX job hunt for what felt like forever - and honestly, I got discouraged. But then I thought: “I’ve been a freelance musician my whole life… this lifestyle suits me. Why not build something of my own?” That turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Over the past year, I’ve: ✅ Learned a ton ✅ Collaborated with great clients ✅ Joined a generous and talented Webflow community ✅ Received so much helpful advice right here on LinkedIn …and somehow, as a brand-new web designer, managed to earn nearly $15,000 from fun, challenging projects in 2025.

Here's to an exciting 2026!

If you’re reading this, you’re probably one of the people I’m trying to help. After working in the tech industry for 15 years and freelancing for the past 3, I’ve experienced both sides of the table.

And one thing became very clear: freelancing is hard.

There’s a lot of trial and error before you think you’ve found the perfect setup... And even then, it’s often still not great...

So I’m releasing two things soon that I’m really proud of:
