Left hanging?

Sorry about that.

As most of you know, I was made redundant (laid off) from Agency.com last month. It wasn't a complete surprise as we'd had a duplicated creative structure for more than a year, but it's always a blow to one's pride to be told one isn't wanted anymore. Still, it's all very amicable. They were very fair and I'm likely to be doing some freelance work for them. In the meantime, I've been meeting with agencies and other people about freelancing. It's a bit scary, but something I think I should try. And it's an interesting experience to market oneself after marketing others for so long.

So if anyone needs a experience designer / strategist, let me know. Please. No really, please!

All in all, I'm actually upbeat about it. And I've had a good break from work for the first time in my life. People I speak to are very optimistic about me finding something else - it's a very buoyant marketplace. So hopefully I won't be hocking my possessions anytime soon.
