A design house is a company that employs individual illustrators and graphic designers to work on briefs from clients in the design house and externally. The employees are to work within their 'house style'.

FREELANCE
A freelancer is a person who works for themselves - is self-employed. They must work from a legal structure. Unlike a design house, they must secure commissioned work themselves. They can be represented by an agency who will sell their work for them and will take a percentage of their earnings.
