Mischell Cox is the founder of Creativ Freedom, a thriving design practice, and a seasoned professional with over 15 years of experience turning creative vision into strategic results. Her path to entrepreneurial success is anything but traditional, making her a uniquely honest and relatable voice for creatives ready to build a sustainable life.

From the Golden Arches to the Golden Age of Freelance
 
Mischell’s journey began not in a sleek studio, but behind the counter of a fast-food restaurant, where she worked for 11 years after graduating college. While mastering the arts of conflict resolution and team management, her passion for graphic design remained a vital hobby. After leaving her corporate job and surviving a brief, unfulfilling stint at a photography studio, Mischell realized she needed more than a job—she needed a system of freedom.

Armed with a generous gift of a computer and a fierce determination to succeed despite her "uniquely unsure" feelings, she launched her own design business from her home. Through sheer grit, strategic learning, and a willingness to master the business side of creativity, she grew Creativ Freedom into the successful, values-driven practice it is today.

Today, Mischell channels that real-world experience—the struggles with self-doubt, the chaotic early days, and the hard-won clarity—into mentoring others. She believes that every creative has the power to build a life that is both profitable and deeply fulfilling.

Her first book, Uniquely Unsure, is a transparent manifesto that distills her extensive knowledge into practical strategies. It proves that with the right foundation in boundaries, systems, and self-care, you don't just have to survive the freelance life; you can truly thrive.
