Melinda Livsey got tired of being given a list of requests by her clients and producing designs that didn’t require much input or thought. That wasn’t why she became a graphic designer. The repetitive cycle of what she terms as being an ‘order taker’ was eating at her and she almost changed careers.

In 2015, she added brand identity designer to her title and 2 years later her title grew to include brand strategist. Being able to come up with creative solutions for her clients relit the fire in her creative soul and she now also teaches graphic designers how to make the same transition.

She’s the founder of Marks and Maker and you may have seen her co-host alongside Chris Do on the Futur. For anyone wanting to know more about identifying your ideal customer, branding strategy, how to not pitch or write proposals for free, this episode is for you.
