Default Freelancer Interviews

Hi all. Im working on a project that is going to lead to in-depth interviews of the most famous freelancer's over the web. Just interested to know what type of questions you would love to ask experienced successful designers?

I find it interesting, that you think it likely that the worlds most experienced and successful designers will be working freelance. I would have thought, that a measure of a designers success would be to have founded a design studio.

Ask the usual, how they started, what advice they'd give others etc.

Arkady brings up a good point, why did they decide to stay freelance?

Massive Blue is a small Web Design Agency based in Edinburgh Scotland run by
Sam Brown.

He's not exactly one of the giants of the industry, is he.

Yeah I know, just seemed appropriate at the time. But Elliot Jay Stocks is freelance, he's a fairly big name...

Ok, but Elliot Jay Stocks is a very diverse character with a lot of interests other than graphic design.
