Day 01 of setting up my personal brand in public.
After 3 years of freelancing on the side + 1 year of freelancing full-time, it was time to take the next step.
No more postponing my site like a project with no deadline (the last website domain I bought still said 'coming soon' 😂)
So, if I can build marketing plans and sites for my clients to go from $0 to $30K, then I can build a brand for myself.
Today, I finally stopped tweaking my figma file and shipped it.
I’ll keep adding, changing and figuring it out as I go.
But for today welcome to my corner of the internet: heyerika.design

You need one honest story.
Too busy to write it?
