Have you ever been told to “just do what the client wants”? 🙃
Yeah... same.

In this episode of BEYOND Design, I’m sharing why asking smart, strategic questions isn’t “too much” — it’s exactly what makes you a powerful, professional designer.

We’re diving into:
• What questions actually build trust (and better results)
• The difference between a designer and a button pusher
• Why “make it pop” isn’t a brief — and how to translate it
• One question that cost me a client (but gained me clarity)
• A real story from the archives that changed how I freelance forever

If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself for speaking up or worried about coming off as “difficult,” this one’s for you.
