Listen Later

If you keep landing clients who expect a full brand identity for a few hundred dollars, it’s not just bad luck—it’s a sign that something in your approach needs to change. High-paying clients don’t randomly find designers, and they definitely don’t hire based on just “good design.” In this episode, I’m breaking down the three biggest mistakes that keep designers stuck working with low-budget clients and what you need to do differently to start attracting premium clients.

You will learn:

  • Why positioning yourself as “just a designer” is costing you high-ticket clients
  • The pricing mistake that keeps you undercharging for your work
  • How to market yourself to clients who actually have a budget
  • The one shift that helped me go from low-paying projects to $10K+ branding clients
  • Where to find clients who value branding and will invest in it

Listen in and start attracting better clients who see your work as an investment, not just an expense.
