Hey, check out: http://uigoodies.com/icons-symbols.html

I like Streamline and Symbolicons; I have both sets and they're incredible.

If you're willing to move outside of Sketch, apps like Invision, Marvel App, Dropbox, and Redpen.io all support annotating.

The short answer - IMHO is yes (these tools are a full replacement for PS).

Most people I know moved on from Photoshop years ago now. It's not a great layout tool, especially compared to the current tools on the market. I don't think it was ever intended for layouts, everyone just adopted it as there were barely any other tools on the market at the time (late 90's).

Sketch is a digital design tool with some ability to export code but I wouldn't say it's a huge feature of the software and I would guess that many people never use it.

I won't comment on all the design tools as there are heaps of articles online that compare these tools.

I will say that with symbols and libraries, Sketch cuts down on time spent designing - compared to Photoshop by a significant amount! It's designed for digital design, Photoshop was designed to be a photo and graphics editor.

After transitioning to Sketch more than a few years ago I can't believe I ever designed in Photoshop and will never go back.

Hi! This is a great question and an interesting scenario.

What do you do at your weekly meetings?

Have you considered doing a show and tell for the work you're doing inside each software development team?

Eating food together comes to mind as a good community building exercise and I believe that an important and often overlooked underlying thread is one on one bonding and communication (coffee dates) with a different few people each week.

I just wrote a post that contains a list of places to find gigs, check it out: https://medium.com/@jesseddy/15-secrets-and-tips-to-set-you-up-for-massive-freelance-success-2f29521810a1

Here's a few I compiled:

• www.dribbble.com/jobs
• www.authenticjobs.com
• www.designjobsboard.com
• www.weworkremotely.com
• www.angel.co/jobs
• www.designernews.co/jobs
• www.folyo.me
• www.smashingmagazine.com/jobs
• www.letsworkshop.com/job-boards-for-client-work

Hmm. Well, I'd want potential clients to contact me regardless of my schedule. Unless I was just completely fully booked for weeks or months. Part of the freelancing is the art of scheduling and finessing the start time of projects. I.e. even if I'm busy now by the time it takes to scope a project and write the contracts I could be freed up.

Hey - I'm also a design team of one. What sorts of challenges do you face? Mine are around getting different points of view and feedback. I've gotten into the habit of using communities like UX Stack Exchange and asking people, non-designers for feedback.
