Being a good brand designer isn't enough anymore
This week, we’re talking about everything it takes to run a successful creative business that has absolutely nothing to do with being good at design. We share the skills, traits and ugly lessons we’ve picked up while building our own independent studios. We get into: 👉 Why being a great designer doesn’t automatically mean you’ll run a great design business 👉 The sacrifices we’ve made to build our studios 👉 Why sometimes you have to put the pencil down and think like a business owner 👉 How your ego can damage otherwise healthy client relationships 👉 Why marketing yourself isn’t optional when you work for yourself 👉 The importance of ambition, hunger and continuing to push yourself forward 👉 Why resilience matters when your work, content and ideas are constantly being judged
