Who are we?!
We’re a bunch of freelance creatives, looking to make the world of design a better place.


The TLDR version of the full story is that we quit our full-time, stable, corporate studio jobs to give this freelancer life a go, and we’re never turning back. Founded in 2021, our goal of starting a creative hub that connects and supports diverse freelancers across all creative industries with like-minded clients became a reality.
Over the years we’ve heard similar stories to our own: following our hearts as we venture into the exciting new territory of freelancing only to find that being self-employed is a bit lonely. As creatives we need community – we need that sense of connection, collaboration, being able to bounce ideas off each other, and sharing some witty banter 😎
Keen for company, Amy and Jenny reached out to each other, ate some crumpets, and an idea pretty quickly formed. Why don’t we do this thing TOGETHER!?
And so Crumpet Club was born! A place to champion the freelance creative while bridging that gap between agency life and working for ourselves remotely. A destination for clients to access a network of diverse talent in one spot. And we’ve been growing and evolving since day one.
We aim to offer a space that brings freelancers together so they can do what they do best, while providing a place to bounce ideas off each other, to talk design, and be presented with opportunities to collaborate on projects together. For clients, we’re a one-stop-Club for projects where we can draw on our network of creatives, with the convenience of a single point of contact.
We believe that even though we are solo-preneurs, we don’t have to do this alone. Also, who doesn’t love crumpets?!

Freelancer FAQs
So how does the Club actually work?
When you’re a Crumpie, we’ll keep you front of mind for incoming projects! We often call on our network of freelancers for lots of different jobs that our clients reach out with – and no two jobs are the same!
We’ll check to see if you’re available for the project we have in mind, and run the rate and timeframes by you. If everything above sounds good to you, we’ll then brief you in.
From there, you’ll make your magic while we handle the project admin, the client comms, and invoicing side of things for you.
At the completion of each project, you are free to promote that work as you’d like in your own folio – because duh, you created it! We’ll also promote it across our website and social media to get more eyeballs on you and your work.
What are the perks of being a Crumpie?
First and foremost, we offer a place for freelancers to connect with each other, and to foster a sense of community. You’ll be welcomed to our Slack channel, where sometimes we have silly little chats, frequently check in with each other about business or design questions, or just dazzle each other with emojis and memes. Also, every now and then, we’ll meet up for IRL hangs, design events, and OBVIOUSLY crumpets! We are usually based in Naarm/Melbourne, BUT we have been known to go interstate.
When we work on projects together, the biggest perk of being a Crumpie is that we’ll handle the project admin, client communication and invoicing side of things for you, so you can focus on doing the thing you love!
We are all about transparency and communicating, so we will always be available for internal feedback and to bounce ideas around.
We’re also always updating our processes and offerings, and will be building a more in-depth resource hub just for freelancers on our website to demystify all the things we’ve learned about being self-employed. We’ve already documented a lot of things we’ve learned, along with other design thoughts on our Blog. Check it out!
Can I visit Crumpet HQ?
Crumpet HQ is currently virtual on Slack! We don’t have a physical co-working space for now, but check back in later as this may change.
How long will it take for you to get back to me?
We are a small collective and often have our fingers in lots of different pies, so our responses may sometimes be a bit slow. We appreciate your interest and time in getting in touch with us, and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!
Do I have to pay to be in the Club?
There is absolutely no fee or cost to being a Crumpie! We’ll happily promote you and the work we create together, and you can stay on our roster for as long as you’d like.
You WILL be using your own programs, subscriptions and devices, however. We can have a chat about the programs you may need depending on the type of project we work on together.
