Good Afternoon, I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about your work? I’m a graphic design student at Leeds Arts Uni and we have been encouraged to talk to other creatives to get more of an idea about life after uni and life as a creative etc. 

There’s just 5 questions and I would be really appreciative if you would take your time to answer them for me. 

1. What made you decide to be freelance and would you recommend going down this route to others?

2. Where do you get your inspiration from and how do you cope with creative blocks?

3. Do you have any regrets in life in terms of your creative career?

4. If you could give your younger self one key bit of advice what would it be?

5. If you weren’t a freelance illustrator what can you imagine yourself doing?

Thanks for taking your time to read my message. 

Kind Regards

Lucy Gibson
