Hello, my name is Marguerite Bellangue. I'm a recent master's degree graduate with a specialisation in fashion design and making. My goal is to become a freelance garment technologist and maker, preferably for truly sustainable fashion companies.

My rough launch plan is to get freelance work by the end of August. The first part of my plan will involve creating and implementing a 30-day self-promotion plan and finishing my portfolio site by this coming Monday (17th July), so I can make myself visible to potential clients. I will also create a starter pitch I can tweak depending on the job I'm trying to get. My pitch so far emphasises my ability to help clients efficiently produce beautiful, wearable garments that fit well and have a minimal environmental impact.

After those steps are done, I will then send out cold emails to brands I want to work with. I've written this into my self-promotion plan, so I can't let fear keep me from doing it. 

I've got a lot of fear and self-doubt, but my experience so far has shown me that these fears are unfounded and that I'm the only thing impeding my success. If I keep these in mind, I know the fear won't have an effect anymore.

Thank you for reading!
