Description

Hiring a designer can feel overwhelming, whether you’re a small business owner taking the leap for the first time or a company ready to level up your brand. In this episode, we cut through the noise and walk you through how to hire a designer the right way. From spotting red flags and asking the right questions, to building trust and starting the relationship on the right foot, you’ll get practical advice that saves time, money, and headaches.


And here’s the twist, while this episode is made for business owners, it’s equally valuable for designers. If you’re a creative, listening to what clients should be looking for is the ultimate playbook for sharpening your process, elevating how you present yourself, and becoming the designer people want to hire.


Whether you’re searching for your next creative partner or striving to become that partner, this conversation has something for you.
