About this FieldTrip
In this FieldTrip, I will share how the scores of designers who are dealing with paused/cancelled projects, whose clients have dried up or who unfortunately have lost their job, can make money right now.
We’ll cover tips on what designers can do to stand out, where they can find potential clients both who are actively looking for designers OR those who might not have realized that they need to pivot and also where they can find remote design jobs ASAP.
This will mostly be a presentation with a Q&A at the end.
What to expect
Lecture format!
This is a more traditional format where participants absorb information through presentations and talks.
Real-time only!

How to make the most of FieldTrips
The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.
Show up fully
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Stay curious
Wear your beginnerâs hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!Â
Celebrate your host
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings communityâjust like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgroundsâa lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.
Support each other
Weâre all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try âYes! AndâŠâ in conversation.
Not vibing?
Itâs 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
