Since buying Ecofetti a fews years back, I’ve split my working time between there and Clear.Design. My freelancing web design gig works pretty well for me if I’m not trying to build a house. It can easily pay my living expenses without too much effort. But lately it’s become clear that Ecofetti is where most of my attention should lie – its potential for growth is far larger than Clear, and it’s a job that has very clear hours and goals, something I’ve never had with my web design gig.
I turned down my first job recently, and I suspect I’ll be turning away more in the future. It’s an interesting change of pace, but I’m optimistic about it. I’m still investing my time in a project I’m deeply involved with, which is very satisfying. Casey and I recently split duties into physical & digital – they’ll be heading up day-to-day operations and order fulfillment, while I will be focusing on better optimizing the website, marketing, and customer service. This lets me spend most of my time at the bus instead of at the office in Chicopee, which I’m grateful for.
We’re on the hunt for an office space closer to home. The business’s needs seem to be uncommon, and we’ve had a lot of difficulty finding appropriate space. Definitely open to creative solutions.
