freedom of freelancing and symbolises how our freelancers can take the simple and ordinary and turn it into
something beautiful and intricate."

freelancer and freelancing on Freelancer.com for about 2 years.
Edward V. Sutrisno said "I was introduced Freelancer by my friend, I joined and I love it. After getting a few
clients, I decided to become a part-time worker here, as the freelance outfit "moskibod design studio".
Previously I planned on vacuuming for a few months to prepare my wedding in the middle of this year, 2009!
However in September I was told about the Freelancer.com logo contest. I sent some design concepts and
surprisingly my Hummingbird Origami concept was in the top 20! This is a very beautiful moment for me,
Freelancer is a beautiful gift for my career. To Freelancer I would say thank you very much for this opportunity
and all the freelance jobs here, especially for us from developing countries. I also congratulate you in
celebrating over 1,000,000 users. Congratulation guys, you all do a great job!"
