What if? We all suffer from doubt when starting out in graphic design. Should I embrace who I am? This is the question one creative and design entrepreneur kept asking himself.
Top Tier Design Consultant Chris Do shares his design & business knowledge with Ted Bettridge – A young designer from the UK with a BIG SECRET! Ted has been successfully freelancing as a graphic designer for the past 3 years but has one giant secret that he wasn’t ready to share with the world. He didn’t want to talk or meet with clients. Why? It’s not because he’s shy.
That’s when he reached out to Skool for an answer. Should he just let his design do the talking?
