Turns Out I Wasn't Charging Enough as a Designer

Описание: A couple months into freelancing and I just realized I was making less than $15/hour on what I thought was a "big" project. If you're a talented designer but your bank account doesn't reflect all that late night work, this video is for you.

In this video, I'm sharing:
🌱 Why I was undervaluing my work
🌱 The expensive lessons I learned about client boundaries
🌱How saying "yes" to everything was actually hurting everyone
🌱 Why contracts strengthened my client relationships instead of creating tension
🌱 The mindset shifts that changed everything

All my clients have been genuinely amazing. These mistakes were completely on me, but if sharing them helps even one designer avoid working until 2 AM for basically free, it's worth it.
