Dann Petty is a freelance designer, educator, event host and prolific maker with a big portfolio of side projects.

We chat about freelancing, what it takes to say yes or no to opportunities, his favorite client gift, the creative process behind his fun tech ads, and I put Dann on the spot to design a freelance portfolio from scratch.
