During that time, I've engaged in many free design and coding projects, making new friends in places as far away as Botswana, Albania, and Kyrgyzstan. In volunteer work, schedules are forgiving. New technologies or design approaches can be pursued. Your portfolio grows more interesting. Plus your world view may expand. I'm paid well by my employers for professional design services and don't have any real need to make money on side projects, so I usually turn away paid freelance requests to avoid any conflicts of interest. Volunteer design work can be very satisfying; if your day job ever gets stale, consider helping others in need as a way to keep engaged in your craft. All the best, Michael Micheletti ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
