Hello and welcome to episode 108 of Webflail. I'm your host Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Maya Chungbin. She is a freelance illustrator and visual identity designer that goes under the name of SaltyStill. Combining her skillsets with her Webflower boyfriend, Alex Villacres, the two are killing it!

I came across her since she's been doing this daily challenge. Her daily challenges got her loads and loads of conversations started about her work. She started on Fiverr and now, she's worked with over a thousand clients on things like storefronts, websites, packaging, maybe even your nighttime read. But get this guys, she's working with small companies helping them transform their dreams into reality through effective marketing.

The failures that we'll discuss today are:
1) Thinking she needed to know more to get started
2) Not doing internal check ins and burning out
3) Expecting an outcome and taking things too seriously
