“Parenting is like sharpening a pencil, you don’t waste time, it makes you more fearless as a creative... What career means to me before I had a kid is different to when I have a kid. I don’t care about prestige anymore. My son is all that matters and also understanding interesting and kind people... That’s what’s meaningful to me.” Lilian Darmono, a Melbourne based Creative and Art Director specialising in character-driven animated and illustrative pieces.

It’s no secret that when it comes to careers and business, the pay, opportunities, and accolades are not always distributed equally. It’s often easy to point to the corporate world as the prime example of this, and overlook that these same inequalities are present in the creative fields as well. Lilian Darmono joins us again for part 2 of our discussion, and in this conversation we dive deep into her experiences confronting bias and inequality as both a woman and a minority, and how she’s bringing similar stories to light through her Spectrum series of interviews. She also gives some amazing pieces of advice regarding how to improve your negotiations, what you should be charging as a bare minimum, what are the must ask questions prior to bringing on a client, and why you should always have a contract (even though the thought of sorting one out might scare us). What are your experiences dealing with bias in the motion graphics world? How did you deal with it now? Please leave a comment below! In this episode: The most important questions to ask a client before you begin to work How do you decide on pricing? Daily rate or set fee? What’s the minimum we should be charging?

As freelancers, we have to live with the fact that work often comes in waves. We might be really busy for stretches of the year, and then face a lean month or two. Learning to predict and work through these cycles is a big factor in creating a successful freelance career. Lilian Darmono is an Art Director who’s made a career spanning both the freelance and corporate worlds.

We speak in depth about the path she took to become an art director, the importance of passion projects, the benefits of being a specialist vs a generalist. Plus, we get into the pro’s and con’s of climbing the corporate ladder and what it means to be an art director vs a creative director. How do you handle your downtime between projects or when slow season hits? Are you a “Jack (or Jill) of all trades or do you choose to specialize?

Lilian Darmono is an Australian / Indonesian-Chinese artist living in London. To say she has a diverse background is an understatement. She is not only multi-cultured and well traveled, her illustration style is a constant exploration of new styles. Yes, she tends to be on the cute side of things, but why not? Sometimes we just need to say "awwww" and feel a bit fuzzy inside. In this interview, I tried to dig into Lilian's talent to find out her secret... how does she combine colors so masterfully? How does she (seemingly effortlessly) jump from one style to the next? Lilian speaks very candidly about her career as a designer and illustrator and how being a woman has shaped that experience. She doesn't hold back, and I think this conversation has an incredible amount of wisdom and actionable strategies in it. http://www.schoolofmotion.com/nobody-born-designer/
