    This is an Ask Kris & Donna episode where we answer a question from a lovely designer, Sarah Kelly, who has asked the following question:

    Do clients really want to see my process work? I was taught at university to share it all, as time goes on I have been less inclined to do so. Sharing my ideation process in my client branding presentation can feel like it is too much information for the client...mind maps, brainstorming, sketches...it's a lot! Would it not be better to keep them focused on the one design concept/solution being provided? Thank you, Sarah

  • Ever wonder what might be missing from your design estimates? In this episode, we explore 7 key elements that could be impacting your profit margins.

    We talk to designers all the time, and a common theme emerges: many valuable services and components of design projects don't get charged for. The beautiful, thoughtful touches you bring to your projects – they deserve to be recognized.

    There are countless tasks designers perform that can become overlooked. We might think, "This is just part of the job." But it's not. These tasks are your secret sauce – the expertise your clients rely on to achieve project success.
