victoriawildeI’ve been in the ‘Small Business/Freelance Artist’ racket since kindergarden, when I sold little clothespin dolls I made to my classmates to save up enough money to take my Grandmother to the dollar theater for her birthday.

Before I went to college I worked a side job to save up money for school, and I knew then that I never wanted to work for someone else ever again; and I haven’t since! My main bread and butter is Freelance Illustration and Graphic Design, but I’ve done everything from advertising to animation, product design and marketing.

Currently I live in Juneau Alaska and work entirely online and over the phone. Being your own boss does have a few downsides, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I currently run two Etsy shops, victoriawilde where I make unique home decor and craft organizers for other artists and crafters like myself, and victoriawilddesigns where I sell visual tutorials for things like photography as well as banners and other Etsy related visuals.

I also have my own blog at , also chalk full of great business advice when I’m not writing for IndieSmiles!
