I’m Denis, I am a freelance creative web developer based in London running my company for 5 years. I arrived in London from France when I was 21 with zero contact in the London industry. Today I work for well known brands and collaborate with the best London agencies.
What is a a good freelancer? That is very subjective, I would say a mix between a good employee and a good leader. Someone with strong skillsets, independent, and proactive.
I heard that from a few friends working in my field. We all know the cliché of web developers… and it’s not really a nice one. First of all, not all developer have long hair, eat chips or pizza all…
At some point I decided to do a little workshop at the pub (always a good place to start) with my friends to teach and share my precious tips for their own business. We were 6. It was success with a lot of good feedback. I have been playing the mentor role with them for years and I now decided to take it to the next level.
I always had a bit of an entrepreneur thinking, after nearly 2 years as a perm, I started my own.
