Signed a $10K/month retainer yesterday with an Aussie content subscription platform. They first reached out saying they’d been following my work on Instagram for a while. You never know where your next client will come from. Post everywhere. Stay visible.

Currently working with a few B2C products, and one thing’s clear, if you’re selling to consumers, you need to be on mobile. Desktop-first teams always say “we’ll fix mobile later.” But later never comes. Your users aren’t sitting at a desk, they’re scrolling on their phones.

Bad typography destroys good design. I learned this at the start of my career, which was one of the reasons I had success in the design industry. Nailing typography got me jobs in big companies that I would have never landed otherwise. Why is it so important? Because 80% of

I love design. But sometimes I need to disconnect from it to clear my mind. That's why I play basketball (also, it's been my hobby for many years). On the court, I'm not thinking about how the product UI should look or if the pricing cards look good. I'm fully locked in and

Here's how I design for my clients: (my process from onboarding to delivery) 1. Strategy calls with clients - First, I need to understand their business goals, target audience and the project's goals - Also, it helps to align early on so there are no problems later 2. Research

I designed an app that got sold for $400M in 2024. During that project, I learned a valuable lesson that propelled my career (I sit at $60K/mo now): Being great at design isn't enough. You need to be able to: - communicate clearly - manage relationships with stakeholders -

I was 17 when I made my first design dollar. A whopping amount of $200 for a website build. Fast forward to me being 30: I signed a 10-month contract for $210,000. Same person. But with 13+ years of experience. Young designers, I know it might seem tough now. You might not

My biggest and longest retainer is AGL, a leading energy company in Australia. When I started, I solved a big problem straightaway: Users couldn't self-serve on their website. They had tons of unnecessary calls from people confused about how to register their house move. So,

I have 6 clients that I design for. Before, I found it hard to manage between projects because I am the type who can get lost in one project for hours. Just looking for the 'perfect' icon, the 'perfect' colour and then realise the whole day is gone. Now, I timebox for each

I went down a specific path to scale to $10K/mo (now I am at $60K/mo). No one advises this, but it works 100%: • Get a design job • Start networking within that job (I got plenty of clients like this) • Design for work and design for fun • All non-NDA designs (real and

I got this client through 𝕏 a few days ago. Never jumped on a call, sent a few messages via DM's, and he paid the invoice in seconds. Literally a dream client.

I don't have 100K followers, and I sit at $60K/mo. You can do the same with just 100 followers. Here's how: Network. Designers, founders, developers, marketers, consultants. Reach out to every single person you can. Even if they're less or more successful than you are. I
