In this episode of the Germany Expat Business Show, I caught up with a friend, and sort-of-former-colleague, Gray Dawdy. I met Gray while I was contracting at a service design agency, where he often enjoyed a friendly chat while making a coffee in the agency Teeküche and bonded over our mutual Californian backgrounds.

Gray is an industrial designer and expat solopreneur who’s built a successful freelance career in Munich, Germany. He talked about his journey from California to Germany, his experiences in the industrial design field, and the ectasy and the agony of freelancing here in Deutschland.

This conversation will be very instructive for anyone considering a move to Germany, thinking about leaving a full time job or looking to start a business in Germany.
