Freelance

Hello! I've been doing web design for two years, and I've been freelancing for a year. During this time, I have accumulated a portfolio, a customer base, remote work with web studios. Due to the popularity of applications and my interest in them, I want to draw layouts for them. But I have no portfolio, no experience. Where can you start? There were thoughts to start drawing fake layouts, also to find a programmer who has orders, but does not have a permanent designer. What other options are there?
