In 2019, I saw a post on Facebook for gig that involved creating avatars for the authors client. I offered my services, but was turned down. But as fate would have it, having mentioned that I also created animations, I was asked about those services instead, and subsequently commissioned to do an explainer for their client. I was thrilled. I worked on it for some time, and eventually finished it. I forwarded it to the client who sounded happy. The contractor then contacted me telling me that I would receive payment, but to this day I'm still waiting - Hi Angela! Another lesson learned I guess.
