The Real Reason I Became So Picky About My Design Clients | EP 223

Building a profitable design business isn't just about attracting more clients. At some point, it becomes about deciding which ones deserve a place in the business you're creating. That shift is much harder than most people expect because it forces you to stop measuring success by how many opportunities come your way and start measuring it by how your work actually feels every day.Over the past twenty years as a designer and eleven years running my agency, I've gone from designing for anyone who would hire me to becoming incredibly selective about the founders I work with. That journey has changed my approach to branding, niching, client relationships, and what I believe a successful creative business should actually look like.
