How I Perfected my Design Process
When I re-launched my business back in March, I wanted to seriously think about the way I worked and how I could serve my clients, my business and myself in the best possible way. I decided to create a specific and organised design process which I would use for all of my branding & website design clients (my main package).
How to Give Great Feedback to Your Designer
As a designer working with multiple clients at a time, I receive different types of feedback from all and I have learnt how to manage every type and make my clients happy. However, good, well-thought out feedback makes a project run much smoother and can ensure that all deadlines are met and all parties are completely happy.

There are so many creative design resources available to help you DIY but at what point do you hire a designer?
