Can I talk directly to the freelancer/specialist?

It is most often much more efficient to communicate with the project manager which will then coordinate with the specialists and manage the team, so you don’t have to.
There are, however, situations where it is convenient that everyone on the team gets together on a call or video conference, so feel free to ask and we will facilitate.
