We are a group of freelancers working collectively as a team, each of us contributing our strengths and expertise. We are in control of the hours we give to work and the hours we reserve for life. It’s beautiful and sustainable ......and fair.
This is how we live up to that mission - as part of The Product Folk freelance network, you will be matched to projects that are a good fit for your style and specialty. You manage your availability and accept or decline any project. You work where and when you want, and set your own rates.
We’re deeply rooted in sharing our passion of fostering creativity and enjoying the work we do. We want to bring people joy in their workday and life. It's all peace, love and product over here.
