Author: Elisabeth Mayr November 10, 2023 Duration: 54:52

Chinaa is a multitalented freelancer and agency owner. She is a self-taught designer who delved into editing, motion design, coding and more. She's also a linguist and voice over artist - which shows in the episode, just listen to her wonderful voice.

In this episode we talk about how you can learn skills to become a freelancer, the importance of networking and how any skills you learn can be reused.


Chinaa is the founder and Creative Director at Chinaa Design Agency, where she uses her expertise and knowledge in brand identity design and voice overs to create bold and awesome brands that connect with their target audience.

Before launching her agency, she has worked as a freelancer in the Tech space for over 8 years. She is also the Founder of Chinaa Design Academy, an online academy where she is helping  young adults and teens to build the life of their dreams with tech. 

We initially connected on instagram, she was one of my first followers and is still one of my biggest supporters - which shows the importance of connecting with people who have similar goals so you can cheer each other on - making freelancing less lonely.

Elisabeth Mayr knows the freelance life isn't just about doing the work you love; it's about navigating the unpredictable terrain of running your own business. In The Freelance Blueprint, she draws from her own experience as a freelance UX designer to create a resource that feels more like a series of honest conversations than a rigid instruction manual. Each episode features discussions with fellow freelancers from a wide range of disciplines, digging into the real stories behind their successes and setbacks. You’ll hear practical advice on setting rates, managing difficult clients, and finding a sustainable workflow, but also candid talk about isolation, self-doubt, and the personal growth that comes with this career path. This podcast is built on the understanding that while freelancing can be solitary, you don't have to figure it all out by yourself. Whether you're just considering the leap or are a seasoned veteran looking to refine your approach, Elisabeth and her guests offer tangible insights and a sense of community, making the complexities of independent work feel a little more manageable and a lot less lonely. Tune in for a grounded perspective that focuses on building a freelance career that works for your life.
