Getting into content design is hard enough, but contracting roles
are a different struggle altogether. While they can be lucrative
(potentially depending where you live) they're also difficult to
crack. 


But they're also a necessary struggle to understand - often the
way to start a content design career is to begin with some
contracting roles. 


Today's guest is a content design contracting queen.
Alliteration! 


Slater Katz has worked as content designer for Netflix, Chime,
Verizon, Fitbit, and more. Not only can I vouch for her content
design skills (she's worked with us at UXCC for a bit) but she's
unique in that she understands how business goals and design
goals intersect - a rare skill.


And she understands personal branding better than anyone in the
biz, in my opinion.


In this interview we discuss content design contracting, how to
improve your personal brand, what makes a great contractor stand
out, and why asking questions when you start isn't a sign of
weakness - it's a strength.
