The Post-ITP Hustle: a freelance perspective

Going through ITP is hard, imagining life after ITP can be even harder.  For those of you thinking, "What's next for me?" and "how can I take what I've learned here and start a career?", I will be sharing my experiences after ITP as an ITP resident and through my developing freelance career and the weird and interesting places it has taken me.  I will be surveying my recent work, art and business practices, sharing my high and low moments of freelancing, my strengths and my weaknesses.  My goal is too reassure you there is life after ITP, share any wisdom I might have and answer your questions about freelancing as a creative-software-development-type person.
