The Freelancer OS forGraphic Designers
Contracts built for graphic design work. Invoices that look as good as your portfolio. Tax guidance that keeps you on track.
Common Startup Problems
Becoming self-employed should be filled with excitement, and not a mad scramble for contract and invoice templates, or worrying about tax or how to look professional.
Scope creep without a contract
"Can you just add one more revision?" Without a signed contract, you have no leg to stand on. Scope creep is the number one margin killer for freelance graphic designers.
Invoicing that feels unprofessional
You create beautiful design work, then send a plain PDF invoice you built in Word. The disconnect is real — and a poor invoice experience can delay payment.
No idea what to set aside for tax
You're earning well, but how much of that is actually yours? Without a real estimate you're guessing — and the January Self Assessment deadline has a way of sneaking up.
