    I’ve been a designer for 12 years, 10 of those working out of a boutique retail space. While I’ve done a broad range of design projects, I’ve never worked independently and have so much to learn. This podcast has been amazing in giving me loads of information that I need to grow as a designer and create a great foundation as a new business owner. Thank you so much for your knowledge and encouragement! It is much appreciated. ❤️
