We love hiring freelancers- and have found that we are especially good for work from home people -as we are very flexible in scheduling. IF you can meet quick deadlines and are communicative for when you will be out of office/un-able to accept work we will be a great fit for each other… as we simply do not care if you work during the day, the night, from your bed or from the pool… lol. WE only care that the job gets done quickly and looks great!
