About

Hi, I’m Darian. Nice to meet you!

The title of this blog, Intentional Freelancer, captures my mindset as I move toward freelancing. I chose this path intentionally. Lots of deep thought and careful consideration went into the choice to pursue freelancing as opposed to a “traditional” job. I want to be intentional in my choices as I move toward being a freelancer. That means saying no to certain strategies, methods to get clients, and projects in order to stay true to myself. This also means that I will likely move much more carefully and slowly toward my goal than the so-called overnight success stories of freelancers that pop up on the internet.

In this space, I hope to illustrate my journey (wherever it leads me) to success (whatever that means). I’d love for you to join me in the process. You’ll get a real, honest look at what I’m doing, how I honor my personality, and what things really are important on the way to the career of my dreams. I’m certainly not an expert in freelancing, or in navigating life as an introvert or highly sensitive person, but I think there’s beauty in sharing the story.
