Hi,
I'm a graphic designer in Suffolk working from home around my 3 year old daughter. I have a set office space and set days in which I'm home to focus on work while my daughter is at playgroup.
As well as my own clients what I'm really looking for is to take on work from an agency. Does anyone know the best way to go about this? I have worked with a couple of agencies before - one that responded to an email I sent to many local businesses which led to a marvelous project but now they've changed direction. The other was a local lady on twitter looking for someone to complete short-notice projects. Unfortunately she was getting them all done in order to sell the business and emigrate!
So whilst the relationships with these businesses was very good and I enjoyed the work, they were not long-lasting.
Can anyone please give me any direction?
Many thanks.

I use linked-in to search for recruiters in my area, and then connect with them through that.
Recruiters are always on the look out for designers, so even if you just view a few recruiters linked-in profiles, they will see that you have done this and sometimes get in touch, it's almost just getting the ball rolling by letting them know your out there and looking.
I found my agent through linked-in,
hope this helps? :happy - Contact in PM

Does it happen often for an illustrator to work mostly through agents? Is it the same kind of thing? - Contact in PM
