About this FieldTrip
As a long time, design and illustration based freelancer Annica will share with you stories of some nightmare clients and tips for how to weed out the potentially bad ones from the start. We will craft a copy-paste email to help you spot trouble and politely exit when necessary before getting too entangled.
About your Host I’ve been a freelancer for 20 years working as a designer, illustrator and lettering artist. I do work under the name Dirty Bandits and I have worked with large brands, small brands, friends of friends, neighbors. I teach a class on Skillshare about spotting red flags with clients and love to talk about client successes and horrors with other creatives!

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.)
