$106,241/year from 8 income streams?! - Rachel How (UX/UI Designer)
Rachel How is one of Malaysia’s top UX/UI designer - entirely self-taught - with a huge 330k following she’s built over the last 4+ years!
But finding her path wasn’t easy.
She quit law school after 2 months because it wasn’t for her.
Worked 10 different odd jobs - including as a body lotion rep & real estate agent - to figure out her interests.
Her realisation: She enjoyed designing property posters over selling the houses themselves.
That led to her joining a hackathon organised by Hong Leong Bank as a designer.
They ranked 10 top.
That led to a role as a Senior Product Designer Fave.
While working full-time, she launched her UX/UI YouTube channel and started building different income streams.
By 2022, she was generating $106,241/year from her freelance work itself, which gave her the confidence to take the leap.
Quit.
And become a solopreneur.
