Yep, back in January. I wanted to do design work professionally so I set up a simple LLC. Real motivation was to test my own skills and see if I was able to run a successful business. Went full-time in October. Despite all the negative connotations around starting a business these days, I can't say I have too many complaints. Side note: Congrats to all HN members who started a company and kept it going this year. It's a lot of work, but fun as hell.
