Studio 78 welcomes Elayna Speight, a former junior graphic designer turned freelance designer and artist, who shares her story about her transition from a typical nine-to-five to an entrepreneur. Elayna’s path to entrepreneurship was untraditional, like most, but she shares how an unexpected recommendation for her network illuminated her path to full-time freelance design work. Elayna also shares how lulls in job opportunities provided her time to build her brand and build confidence in her decision to step out on faith. Elana is based in the Washington D.C. area, and her unique and dynamic illustrations can be viewed and purchased at her Etsy shopand on her website. Her story is both inspirational and informative and serves a good example of how frustration coupled with faith can chart the path to professional freedom.
