FAE 022: Getting Started as a Freelancer, UX/UI and Content Marketing with Emily Cleary

Paul talks with Emily Cleary about how she got started as a freelancer, design, content creation, networking, time management and more!

Curious by nature and passionate by design, Emily Cleary is a Product Designer and Content Marketing specialist with years of experience working in technology. She is driven by the opportunity to create meaningful and memorable experiences for people through UX design and content creation as well as opportunities to mentor others who are finding a home in design or technology. She founded her LLC, Cleary Co earlier this year to provide UX and Content services to various types of clients.

Prior to graduating from Ironhack's intensive UX/UI program and winning the Hackshow with her final project 'PARK', Emily graduated from Florida Atlantic University (FAU) with a Master of Arts in Sociology, and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Business Administration. She worked as a UX Designer and Content Marketing Manager for a SaaS tool, a Conceptual Designer for a video production company, and an Adjunct Sociology Instructor at FAU and Broward College, as well as a Writing Consultant at the University for Excellence in Writing at FAU.

When Emily isn't being a techie, you can find her singing around town or at the studio, or eating an açai bowl somewhere in Miami. She's releasing her debut album later this year!
