Being Freelance Art Director Sam Clark-Hall - Freelancing That Works For Your Family
Steve Folland chats to Art Director Sam Clark-Hall. Due to the nature of the TV/film industry, Sam's never had a 'proper job', so with over 15 years of freelancing under her belt has plenty to share on staying afloat financially. Plus in recent years she's been balancing ambition with starting a family and doing something you love around those that you love.

Here’s some of the key takeaway points:
-
Be sensible with your money, save a little extra for your tax and for
your bills each month, so if you find yourself without work you've
got a buffer to fall back on -
When Sam started a family, she and her husband based their lifestyle
on just one income as if she'd not work again; now that she does,
it's all a bonus -
Being freelance gives you great flexibility to be with your family,
you're also passing on a great work ethic and the belief that you can
have a career doing something you're passionate about -
If your partner is a freelancer it's a real plus: they understand
you're also married to the job and will get your crazy stresses and
hours -
Always invest in yourself, in your skills and technology
-
Be nice to people!
