No one can hire you if they can’t find you. So we always try to post as often as we can, but we also try to not spend a lot of tome making posts just to make posts. The goal is always to have something to share that could also potentially become a print or used in some other way.
- Speaking of social media, where can people find you?
Ig: @wearepretendfriends or just search pretend friends on Dribbble
