Krishna Solanki on the Being Freelance Podcast interview with Steve Folland

Having known Steve Folland for a while now It was a pleasure to be interviewed by him for the Being Freelance Podcast.  We talked about all things “being freelance” where I shared my journey of how I started out as a freelancer and how this helped pave the way for KSD as it is today - a small but mighty brand and Squarespace agency.

I didn't realise I had such a goofy face when being interviewed! Oops... all part of the fun I guess… you can listen to the full interview here. Enjoy!

Here’s a sneak peek from Steve…

Season 17 of the Being Freelance podcast is kicked off by Krishna sharing her story.

Including:

  • turning a girl crush into a mentor and the difference it made

  • keeping her kids (Head of Distraction and Head of Destruction) and a business going through the pandemic

  • moving from solo freelancing to an agency model

Why every business needs a process
Why every business needs a process

One thing clients mention to me again and again, in reviews and in normal conversation, is how organised everything felt. How they always knew what was happening next. How nothing slipped through the cracks, even when the project got complicated along the way. This is the result of having a clear process behind the scenes.  One I’ve refined over years by managing numerous Squarespace website and visual brand identity projects for all kinds of businesses.

A strong business process isn't just admin sitting in the background. It's what makes a project feel calm and predictable for the client, even when the work itself is complex. And it's usually the difference between a business that feels chaotic to work with and one that feels genuinely easy.
