They Kept Calling ft. Lina Cordero of Onlychild Design
Description
Today’s episode kicks off with Lina Cordero of Onlychild Design, a branding and design studio, and we’re OBSESSED WITH HER… as you’ll be able to tell in this ep. 🤩
We’re continuing our theme of college cocktails this month (much to Elle’s distaste LOL), and drinking jager bombs we’ve called “Bomb Dot Com” — an ode to feeling of having amazing projects you’re proud of — and slightly wishing we were drinking palomas like Lina was. But, we digress.
Lina talks about how and why she started Onlychild Design (um, hint… in her last corporate job, she was LITERALLY asked to make changes to a project while she was in labor. No thx), and we talk about good ole client red flags, picking the right clients, and NOT having a business you have to treat like a child.
Then, as usj, we get to hear some incredible stories — including Lina’s worst ever discovery call (like, hi, a note to clients: can you not ask us ~why we’re having this call~ when you’re the one that booked it?!), a pro bono client who decided to reach out for changes almost 3 years later, being asked to work during labor, and when she accidentally deleted all of her client work from her computer.
*dies*
It’s seriously a good one, friends — head over to listen on in!
