Connecting with clients in your local area is an excellent way to cultivate long-lasting relationships and create valuable opportunities for your illustration and surface design work. Leveraging your local network allows you to meet businesses, clients, and buyers face-to-face. So, how can you tap into your local network for your surface design or illustration business?
In this article, I share my own experiences building up a local network of clients as an illustrator. I talk in-depth about networking opportunities, local communities, how to share your work, and more. Additionally, I give practical tips on how to get started right away, and build your network as an illustrator or surface designer effectively.
