I would like to share that I started a company this year and we finally launched our website!
Within my company I focus on XR/immersive technologies. The goal is to produce projects for clients, do consulting, and next to this share my knowledge with workshops.
To sustain myself/the company, I also do some freelance work via contacts or Fiverr!
I also publish assets on the Unity Asset Store for other games/interactive apps.
I think the biggest thing is to follow what drives you. For me the question ‘What could someone wake you up for and you will jump out of bed ready’.
For me this was starting up workshops to help others grow. I still love designing/developing, but I notice that I want to have a more direct impact on people.
And that it’s okay to start small. No need to quit your job, maybe just ask for 1 day off a week and dedicated that to building what you love.
