When Himani Patel came back from Canada to get a fresh start, she had no direction. A restless feeling and too much time on LinkedIn. Every “signed a new client” post quietly chipped away at her. She knew it was comparison, but knowing didn’t make it stop. She found ghostwriting almost accidentally.What started as curiosity, turning ideas into stories, learning how people build trust online, became the thing she couldn’t stop doing. She wrote on LinkedIn, kept learning, and slowly, without a launch moment or a grand plan, curiosity became a career. The early months were hard in a specific way. Freelancing doesn’t pay on day one, and she’d already known what it felt like to earn her own money. Rebuilding from scratch was uncomfortable. There were stretches with no direction and no results. Then a stranger commented on one of her posts. Said her writing felt relatable and educational at once. It sounds small right? But it was proof that something had landed. That moment, and the distance between who she was when she started and who she is now, that’s what she’s proud of. #FreelancingHeroes #Qwego #writing #freelance

Lockdown. Boredom. Curiosity. That’s how this started. In 2021, while doing her MCA, Shivani opened YouTube and taught herself graphic design through tutorials and trial-and-error. She set up a profile on Fiverr. Started at $5. Said yes to everything. Logos. Posts. Random requests. Late nights. She also cold-DM’d Instagram pages. One replied. First real client. First real confidence boost. Work stacked up. Skills got sharper. $5 gigs slowly turned into $500 projects. At some point, she stopped calling it “side income.” This was the career. Then, gone. Her Fiverr account got banned because of a technical issue. Main income, wiped out overnight. For months, barely any work. A lot of second-guessing. But instead of quitting, she doubled down. Learning. Reaching out. Staying visible. Through a connection, she landed an FMCG client. The first time she saw her design printed and sitting on a store shelf, that hit different. That’s when it felt real. Self-taught. No fancy degree in design. Just consistency. From $5 gigs to store shelves. Start small. Stay consistent. Keep knocking. “What stood out to me about Qwego Freelancing is how everything is in one place, from showcasing your portfolio and intro video to managing projects and payments. I also like the focus on quality over quantity, with structured projects and tools that help freelancers and clients work more clearly and professionally. It feels built for long-term growth, not just quick gigs.” This was Shivani’s journey, stay tuned for more. #qwego #FreelancingHeroes #FreelanceLife #GraphicDesigner #CreativeJourney #WomenInDesign
