Update! :) - A lot has changed over the last couple of years. To be quit honest I was stuck first in a management consultant job and decided to quit it totally. I always kind of knew I was more of a free spirit, loving the creative arts, music and fashion. Although it was always more of a hobby or something I dreamt of doing once....

For my fashion startup Prêt-à-Fred, I am looking for creatives who want to help on branding, UX/UI on freelance basis? Who is in?
