Hi, I’m Grace. After 10+ years as a freelance creative and marketing consultant, I’ve learned the ins and outs of self-employment—and how to use it to build a life of freedom, joy, and abundance.
I created this playbook as your go-to guide for freelancing. I’ve made over a million dollars doing it, and now I’m sharing everything I know to help you do the same.
Whether you’re just starting your business or want to level up, you’ll learn how to define your services, get clients, set your rates, set boundaries, handle taxes and LLCs, and grow a six-figure freelance career.
"I can confirm I made (almost exactly!) 100x the cost of the course on this project. And I HAVE turned it into a monthly retainer of 10x the course price! Life changing, thank you for your expansion." – Happy Client

Grace Abbott • Creative & Marketing Consultant
I was never someone who could be productive at a desk for eight hours, and I was certainly not incentivized by a capped corporate salary. After realizing that I was so multi-hyphenate that no traditional role would ever suit me, I quit my job to go full-time freelance—and now I’ve made millions in revenue doing what I love. I live a beautiful life in California, enjoy daily Pilates, go to Erewhon too much, take spontaneous trips, and have time to nurture my relationships and spirituality. All of this has been afforded to me through a flexible and abundant freelance lifestyle.
A few years ago, I coached one of my close friends out of her agency job and into a full-time freelance career—she went from making $150K on salary to $30K a month doing copywriting and creative direction with brands she loves. Based on this success, we knew we needed to put everything I taught her into a workshop that anyone could follow… and How To Go Freelance was born! To get to know me more deeply, read my Substack or stalk me on LinkedIn. For daily video tips follow on TikTok or IG.
