The second option on your contact form is telling people what your average price is.
If you don't want $5-10k projects, take them off.
We removed ours and only left 10-20k as the starting point. Fewer leads, but way better fit.

Client: "We found cheaper agencies, can you lower your price?"
Me: "No, but good luck with the project."
If the cheapest option felt right, you wouldn't be asking me to lower my price. You'd just take it.
We both know how this plays out.

Best tip for designers working with startups: start building a design system early.
Even a simple one. Tokens, components, documentation.
It feels like extra work at first but it saves so much pain later when the product grows and more people are touching it.

Nothing changed our sales more than getting genuinely busy.
When you're not desperate for the deal, it shows. When you can walk away, people usually lean in.
The less available we became, the more people wanted to lock us in.
Demand is always weird like that.

So much for taking it slow this week.
5 discovery calls booked over the weekend,
One call with a potential new hire (🤞), and 10+ warm leads that need follow-ups.
Monday is full!
Not complaining though, let's finish strong before Christmas :)

Weekend scheduling done!
Going to be a bit quieter from me this week, fewer posts than usual while the holidays are here.
Back to normal rhythm after Christmas 🎄
Enjoying the slower pace and letting things breathe a bit. Hope everyone gets some proper rest over the next few days.

The longer I run this agency, the more I realize:
Saying no is part of the job.
If the scope’s unclear, the timeline’s too tight, or the whole thing just feels off, it’s okay to walk away.
Focus on projects that play to your strengths.
Not every deal is worth doing.

The gap between "good enough" and "great" design is smaller than you think.
It's usually 5 details:
→ Font weights
→ Visual alignment
→ Consistent spacing
→ Line height and leading
→ Intentional color choices
Small details. Big difference.

This is what we start every exploration from.
An inspiration board with 3 distinct visual directions.
Why? Founders change their minds. A lot.
This kills the "I'll know it when I see it" problem before it starts.
Alignment upfront = fewer revisions, faster delivery.

"How fast can you move?"
This fast. One week of brand exploration for a mobile app redesign:
→ Moodboards locked
→ 2 style guide directions
→ UI screens in progress
→ Components already built
Startups don't have 3 months for brand discovery, you need to move fast.

Just updated our @designme sample work with new shots.
Still a lot we can't show yet, waiting for everyone to go live and out of stealth.
Expect a bigger update early next year :)

Most of our longest client relationships didn't start with a massive engagement.
They started with a landing page refresh or a quick brand sprint. $8-10k, 1 month.
We delivered. They came back.
$60k+ later, we're still working together.
Trust takes time. We're fine earning it.
