After 17 years as a presentations and graphics specialist for a global business, I was unexpectedly made redundant. This sudden change made me realise that the next step in my career had to be something I was truly passionate about. That’s why it was an easy decision to turn FREEZE64, my eight-year-old hobby that was already paying for itself, into my full-time endeavour. I had to consider where I could cut costs in the logistics of producing a physical ’zine and also explore ways to add value without compromising the quality. This exciting new chapter is something I’m genuinely looking forward to!
