My freelance career in #dataviz has come to an end. It didn't work out for me, but maybe you can learn from my mistakes so freelancing works out for you.

I suggest you to read this post in two sections. You'll get tired from going through it all at once. It's so much to take in.

Part 1: janezhang.ca/posts/failing-…

Part 2: janezhang.ca/posts/failing-…

From this day forward, my personal site (janezhang.ca) will no longer be updated. It will remain online as an archive of my past work. It's got loads of resources that I'm sure people can still benefit from.

3/
In terms of what's next for me, I decided to pivot into eCommerce. I'm just starting out, so I would love for you to check out my new site: thebettermelon.com.

If you know anyone who could use my services, it would mean a lot if you could refer me.

Lastly, I tried to make this post useful so that you could apply it to your own career. I hope you learn something from my journey and I hope it benefits you in all aspects of your life.

[#tekken #dataviz project] blog post 5, last one in the series. I feel dead after grinding on this project for about 3 weeks. Finally, it's done. Full post: janezhang.ca/tekken-incorpo… Process thread:
The final version finally has colour (yay!). These cards show one of Josie Rizal's move. It was important that these cards felt like it belonged to her. She is from the Philippines and her entire concept is inspired by her origins.
Even her colours are inspired from the Philippine flag.
