Your current clients are your goldmine. They've experienced your work, trust you, and naturally refer you to others. Focus on delivering exceptional results, and word-of-mouth becomes your most powerful marketing weapon.

I hate to see people talking bad things about @nicogarcia! He's just trying to help young designers get some work for their portfolios. Even I worked for free when I started.

On Building a Career In no particular order. Will add more as I learn. On Starting Out • Early in your career, optimize for learning over earning. The skills compound faster than the salary bumps. • There is no substitute for hard work. True at day one, true at year twenty.

Hot take 🔥 Stop obsessing over follower counts and lead magnets. Just post your work. Consistently. Authentically. The visibility will come from the quality and frequency of what you share, not from gaming algorithms or chasing metrics. Your portfolio in motion > your

Designers posting work on X/LinkedIn is good for visibility. The best way to get hired is by doing good work and having existing customers refer your services.
Hiring designers from X has been a huge disappointment and miss for us so far. I've had the pleasure of working with more than 10 people, and I've been truly happy with only one.

As a designer and customer, coming out here on Twitter and talking bad about either gives you virality short-term but is bad for the long term.
i share a lot of exciting things about our company, so here's a less shiny side of last month's endeavours (looong rant): i burned nearly $3,000 on two different designers, one from upwork and one from x. the assignment was rebranding, and none of them got it, despite me

Continue following up unless they say no, if the signs are positive.
Recently, I lost a $3K retainer client. We had a great call, discussed his product, goals, and vision in detail. By the end, he sounded convinced and said, “Let’s start tomorrow. Prepare the contract.” I was super happy and excited… but it’s been 3 days, and he hasn’t replied

Design isn't decoration. It's how people experience your product, your brand, your entire company. It's the first impression, the last impression, and everything in between. Good design makes people trust you before they even know what you do. Bad design makes them bounce before

Met a CEO yesterday who built three successful companies. Asked her what changed between attempt one and attempt three. She said, "I stopped hoarding decisions." Early on, she approved everything. Color choices, hire decisions, vendor contracts. Bottleneck city. Now she only
