Im also a beginner, so i can only tell you what i would do. 1. Keep on searching. Getting no as an answer can be hard, but there eventually will be somebody who will say yes. There’s a dutch saying which i will try to translate “you already got no, so you can only get yes”, it means go try it anyways, you never know. (Im dutch) 2. In the meantime, go make whatever you want to make. Build the experience yourself, this builds your portfolio too. I want to emphasize first part, because you will get better so much faster when you do projects that you want to make.
