Things have been taking an interesting turn in recent weeks. As I mentioned here, I moved into offices with Adii in mid July. The original idea was for me to “rent-a-desk” from him and essentially we would each continue with our own endeavors. As I mentioned at the end of this post here, there were some other new developments that I could not mention because we were sorting out the details.
The details have since been sorted out, so I can finally let the cat out of the bag. Since the beginning of this year, a great deal of my freelancing work came from Adii. We have built up a really good working relationship during the course of the last few months. And since being together in the offices it has been even better for us to work together, as we can communicate face to face, and not through emails and Basecamp. Really speeds up the process quite a bit.
Also, Adii recently started {radiiate}, a creative web solutions company, and that’s were most of my freelance work for him came from. Eventually the work load from {radiiate} got too much for one man to handle. And seeing that myself and Adii work together so well, Adii offered me a job as Senior Designer at {radiiate}. And I gladly accepted .
Funny thing is that I started freelancing to avoid getting an office job, and look at me now. Exactly the opposite has happened. But I don’t regret my decision at all. With the new job I get to focus on what I love, which is designing and building websites, while Adii deals with clients, admin and running his business.
{radiiate} has been off to a great start and we’ve been hard at work on client projects. We also plan on launching the company website soon. Lots of hard work lay ahead, but the future looks to be a bright one .
