The online design space is obsessed with the idea clients who hand over their money, say nothing, and let you do whatever you want. But… since when did collaborating with clients become abad thing? Since when did asking questions make a clientdifficult? And why are designers being made to feel like they’re failing if they haven’t found that “perfect” client yet?

In this episode, I’m talking about the unrealistic (and honestly kinda hurtful) expectations around clients, why trust isearned notowed, and why being a good designer doesn’t mean rejecting every client who has an opinion.

Figuring out what to share on social media is hard. Do you just post your work and keep it professional? Or do you sprinkle in a little personal stuff so people actually get to know you? It’s tricky to know where the line is, and let’s not even get started on the fear of oversharing or posting something irrelevant.

In this episode, I’m diving into this confession: "maybe more asking for advice than a confession, but i was wanting your opinion on the balance between your personal & business side on social media. i feel like just posting marketing tips & mock-ups doesn’t give insight into you as a person to make a connection. but at the same time, i don’t wanna over-do it & post completely irrelevant or confusing content for my target audience and my goal of gaining traction and community"
