Finally became a full-time indie maker

This has been years in the making. I’m so happy to share that from now on I’m indie fulltime!

No more freelancing clients, no more hour tracking, no more calling my passion a "side-project"
revenue across the last years

The revenue chart only shows part of the story. Although it was the safer choice to build this up while freelancing, it was not an easy one.

I’m so happy that all this hard, sometimes depressing work finally paid off. The freedom I have now is a bit overwhelming 🤯

This journey actually began in 2012 when I chose to become a freelancer to be able to start my own business.
list of my projects

Little did I know how much I’d be sidetracked by client work and how many projects I’d have to start (& end) to get to this point.

As not everyone is on IH - thanks to everyone who was with me all those years:
