How’s everyone doing?

It’s been a busy week for me between the day job, keeping up with some life admin, giving my space a much-needed clean and refresh, and just general adult things. Oh, and of course, this newsletter 😉

This week, we’ve got some pitch calls (with a couple rate updates from previous stated estimates) as well as loads of full-time and contract gigs ⬇️
