Bo Wong speaks like she swims: with purpose, presence and joy.
Freelance photographer Bo Wong has done things most sole traders only dream of. Like take an 8-month creative sabbatical, swim in the ocean daily, even collaborate successfully with family and friends. Now she supports other creative freelancers trying to juggle life, work and wellbeing through mentoring, retreats and her Soul Traders podcast. Bo is the kind of facilitator who sets clear guidelines and leads by example. She puts incredible care into her communication, and refreshingly, is exactly the same in real life as she appears online.
