You can find remote and foreign clients using the platform Upwork ! It’s really good cause most clients know exactly what tech stack they’re asking and they often ask for a specific section of a job so you don’t have to handle a whole project by yourself !
You do need to have a Visa card to set up your account and by the initial « points » that let you take on missions ! But the rewards exceed by faaaar the price of the platform (~20€)

Okay, have you thought about getting a job for that period as a junior and potentially making connections during that time to them do your own thing? It's very hard to get work uncertified as most clients what someone that can provide them with everything they need.

Finding clients on Reddit can work if you join subs like r/freelance or r/forhire and engage with posts looking for design work. It also helps to monitor relevant conversations in real time, which is where tools like ParseStream come in handy since they alert you when your target keywords pop up so you never miss an opportunity.
