Your portfolio might be the reason clients keep ghosting you or pushing back on your prices. Not because your design work is not good enough, but because your portfolio is sending the wrong message.

Most designers fill their portfolios with visuals like logos and mockups and forget that high-paying clients are not looking for pretty work. They are looking for proof that you understand business and strategy.

I am breaking down the portfolio mistakes that keep you stuck with low-budget clients and showing you exactly how to fix them.

You will learn:

• The mistake that makes your portfolio attract low-paying clients
• How to present your work so clients see your value
• What high-ticket clients actually look for when hiring a designer
• How to shift your portfolio from a gallery to a sales tool

Grab a cup of coffee, your notes, and get ready!

Most designers stay stuck at $3K projects because they’re pricing wrong, targeting the wrong clients, and positioning themselves as just another freelancer. The difference between a $3K designer and a $10K designer isn’t design skills. It’s how they run their business. In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what separates the two with real examples you can apply today.

You will learn:

• Why pricing by hours or deliverables is killing your income
• How to position your services so clients happily pay $10K or more
• What high-paying clients actually care about (it’s not your portfolio)
• How to stop selling logos and start selling solutions
• The mindset shift that helped me go from $3K to $12K projects

Grab a cup of coffee, your notes, and get ready to redefine how you run your design business!

Tired of clients who don’t see the value in branding, question your prices, or treat design like an afterthought? The problem isn’t your work - it’s how you’re positioning and selling it. Clients don’t automatically understand the value of branding. You have to show them.

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly why you’re attracting clients who don’t respect your expertise and how to shift your positioning so you start working with people who actually see branding as a business investment.

You will learn:

• Why clients don’t automatically value design (and how to change that)
• How to position yourself as a brand expert, not just a designer
• The difference between selling deliverables vs. selling outcomes
• Where to find clients who take branding seriously and are willing to invest
• The one mindset shift that helped me start booking $10K+ clients

Listen in and start attracting better clients who respect your work and your pricing.
