How to Be a Successful Remote Web Designer

It’s crazy to think that only a few months ago having a remote job wasn’t the norm. Now, almost the entire world is working from home.

And, while a remote job as a web designer might be a dream come true, it comes with its fair share of challenges.

Being on a remote team makes things like having a healthy work-life balance, getting along with co-workers, and even getting noticed by your boss much more challenging.

And, that’s exactly what I talk about with Charli Prangley on this week’s episode of the Self-Made Web Designer podcast.

Who is Charli?

Charli is a marketing designer who has worked on a remote team with a company called Convert Kit for years now.

Along the way she’s learned a thing or two about what it takes to be a successful remote designer.

Things like being intentional about your career trajectory and being diligent about your work space and productivity have all played a huge factor into how she’s been a successful remote designer for an awesome tech company.

Charli also has some pretty awesome design chops. In fact, if you look closely at my own designs you will find inspiration from Charli’s work.

Whether you’re looking to keep your job completely remote after the pandemic subsides OR not, Charli has a ton of awesome advice.
