#gig economy
Hello hive mind - I’m currently writing my MA thesis on the gig economy and polymathic freelancers in the creative industries. Basically, I’m looking to interview freelancers (ideally London/UK-based) who are multi-talented, and work in a diverse set of creative disciplines… such as a writer/illustrator/animator etc. Perhaps you have had an interesting portfolio career, or you’ve created a unique job role/business that combines all your skill-set and interests.
If this sounds like you or someone you may know, I’d LOVE a brief chat about your experiences over email/phone/Skype/person, whichever suits best.
Contact me here, or email me: [email protected]
Thank you very much!

Gig economy
Rideshare companies used technology to disrupt a hidebound industry that was sorely in need of disrupting. But they have an obligation to ensure that their success doesn’t come at the expense of either passengers’ safety or workers’ rights. Our view.Uber’s view.
