Freelance Designers on Twitter

Posted on 27. Jul, 2009 by Chris Green in Promoting Yourself, Social Media

Many freelance designers are getting work through twitter. In fact I just read an article about a guy i’ve been following called Jacob Cass. Jacob has an awesome blog called Just Creative Design and he really embraces social media, especially Twitter.

Just last week he finalised his new move to a brand new job, meaning he gets to move from Australia to New York. The job offer originated from a twitter direct message. You can read more here.

Anyway, all that to say that using Twitter is a good thing for freelance designers, and here’s a few to connect with:

    I can’t say that I am as great at the social networking as @chrisspooner or @gracesmith, but I’m hoping to get there soon! I’ve been freelancing full time for almost 5 years now.

    Thanks for the list,Chris. I am already following most, but I found a few new ones to follow both on your list and in the comments.

    Another one to add is @mlane. He has great tweets, and is an awesome designer.
