What is your personal strategy/philosophy when it comes to using social media for your work?
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
