When she had her third child, she quit her job to become a stay-at-home mom and moved away from LA. After seven years, she decided to pursue her dream of starting her own fashion brand for modest women's wear, but struggled financially. She had followed Heidi for many years, but had never realized that the freelancing she talked about was entirely remote. This caught Hanan's attention, and she decided to attend a workshop hosted by Heidi to learn more. She found it difficult to drive to LA with three kids, so she was excited to explore this freelancing journey and see where it takes her and her brand.Connect with Hanan:Visit their website: hijabfix.comEmail at: hijabfix@outlook.comFollow on InstagramConnect on LinkedinWork with on Upwork Sick of being tied to a desk and want more freedom in your day, snag my free training: How to Freelance in Fashion (even if you're terrified you don't have all the answers) by clicking here.
