Corinne Halvorsen is a graphic designer who has run her own one-person studio for fourteen years, designing identities, packaging and print for small businesses after six years at a branding agency. She writes every proposal, contract and invoice she sends, and the documents in The Studio Kit started as hers.

As editor she writes the Freelancing, Clients, Pricing & Money and Branding & Portfolio sections: going freelance, quotes and contracts, getting paid, and the portfolio that brings in the next client.

Jonah Petrakis has spent nine years as a freelance designer-developer, building portfolio websites, email newsletters and the software setups behind them for illustrators, photographers and other studios of one. Before that he designed and wrote email campaigns in-house at a software company.

He writes the Creative Software, Marketing and Studio Setup sections: what each tool costs a single seat, getting found without becoming a full-time marketer, and the hardware and apps that keep a small studio running.
