$106,241/year from 8 income streams?! - Rachel How (UX/UI Designer)

$106,241/year from 8 income streams?! - Rachel How (UX/UI Designer)8 mrt59 min

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.
