The design market feels louder and more competitive than ever, and yet the designers who truly stand out are not doing anything flashy. They are doing something much simpler. They are clear. In this episode, I am breaking down why the market feels saturated, why being talented is not enough, and what actually makes clients choose one freelance designer over another. If you are a brand and web designer or a design business owner who feels stuck competing on price or struggling with how to get graphic design clients, this conversation will change how you see your positioning, your portfolio, and your role as a creative CEO.
