HDS 9 - From Toxic Job To $22K Branding Project (Katie's Story)

from The Unapologetic Designer Podcast · host Kenzi Green Design

Katie never thought she’d work for herself but when her job became so difficult that staying was no longer an option, she knew something had to change. In this DBA student interview, we’re talking about what happened when Katie took the leap, joined DBA, and started building a design business of her own even before she fully saw herself as an entrepreneur.She shares the uncertainty that came with leaving her job, what shifted once she had the right support and strategy, and how she went on to book a $22,000 project. If you’ve been telling yourself you’re “not the kind of person who could start a business,” this conversation might change what you think is possible.Join Social Butterfly Club (Marketing Membership For Designers)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apply For Design Biz Academy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Katie
