Add the ending to freischaffend.
„Freischaffend“ (freelance) consists of „frei“ (free) and „schaffend“ (creating/working). „Schaffend“ comes from the verb „schaffen“ (to create/to work) and here refers to professional or creative work.
Nach ihrer Ausbildung wurde sie freischaffende Künstlerin.
After completing her training, she became a freelance artist.
A common sentence pattern is „freischaffend als + Berufsbezeichnung arbeiten“ (to work freelance as + profession). Here, „freischaffend“ describes the form of employment, while the profession follows „als“ (as).
Seit Januar arbeitet er freischaffend als Fotograf.
He has been working freelance as a photographer since January.
„Freischaffend“ (freelance) often appears directly before artistic professions, for example in „freischaffender Künstler“ (freelance artist), „freischaffende Autorin“ (freelance female author), or „freischaffender Musiker“ (freelance musician). You will encounter these combinations especially in professional profiles and résumés.
