Nate Padavick is a freelance illustrator who specializes in map illustration and is co-founder of Illustrators For Hire, a global directory that connects clients and art directors with professional illustrators while helping members build strong businesses. While drawing remains his focus, he’s spent years learning how clients search for talent and enjoys helping other illustrators improve their websites and become more discoverable.
As a freelance illustrator himself, Nate Padavick knows that every illustrator who improves their SEO starts appearing in the same search results he relies on for work. For that reason alone, he strongly advises you not to attend this workshop. In it, Nate reluctantly reveals practical things illustrators can do to make their websites far more discoverable online—the same tactics he uses himself, and would honestly prefer to keep secret. Nate will demonstrate live searches, explain how search engines (and increasingly AI tools) evaluate illustrator websites, and show why some illustrators appear everywhere online while others disappear into the void. Attendees will even receive a checklist of changes they could implement immediately—though Nate sincerely hopes they ignore it.
