I am a UI/UX designer, I do design mobile and web apps, web design and prototype, really love doing this with my previous company for the past years since I focus to this field.

But I started working on this company since 2013, started as web designer, front-end web developer and works also with with multimedia tasks such as creating social media posts graphic designs, video promotions, video tutorials or any graphics and video related tasks. I work closely with the CEO as per his direction, and works together with the dev and sales managers for every tasks and sometimes have a talk and tasks from the owner. I do not complain about all this tasks since this is what I love doing, it's like they let me work on what I love to do, as a result I give them every deliverables that was asked with satisfaction together with their collaboration and feedback. I am so happy that the company I've working started from small into international big company with different clients.

But 1 day to make this story short, we all received an email that The company just suddenly will stop the operation after 13+ years, I was there since day 1, everything is shocking, I was there as fresh graduate, single. Then Got a Wife and Child. Then suddenly everything was stopped.

But I am so thankful for the opportunity that they have given me, I started as nothing to become something, I did not worry about salary during the time I work there, they provided me with enough salary and do every tasks that was asked. I am so thankful to them for building me up.

Now I want to work full time online with free time. Do you guys think opening an Upwork is fine?
