client work

For creators looking to build a career in AR on social platforms, this episode will demystify and reveal how platforms work with creators and clients when ad spend is mentioned in the conversation.

We'll pull back the curtain to share the holistic perspective of how a large brand or agency structures an AR campaign - including how money is spent, and what to expect from platforms when ad revenue becomes part of the equation.  Our observations may surprise you if you haven't worked with Meta, TikTok or Snapchat in this capacity and is an important conversation for any AR creator building a career in this space, so they can better understand how the game is structured in an effort to level the playing field.

*This conversation is a reflection of our personal views, and observations based on our own experiences.

In the latest episode of the Design Break podcast, listeners are treated to an insightful journey through Rocky's career as a full-time illustrator and freelancer, during which he consistently achieved six-figure incomes. Rocky debunks the myth of the "starving artist" and shares three key strategies that propelled his success.

Firstly, Rocky highlights the importance of targeting the right clients, emphasizing his focus on tech startups with existing funding. By doing so, he secured larger projects and substantially higher earnings compared to traditional editorial work.

Secondly, Rocky advocates diversifying services beyond simple illustrations. He recounts his success in offering additional services such as character and mascot designs, illustrated storyboards, and a unique "illustration style discovery" package, which brought in substantial revenue, exceeding six figures.

Lastly, Rocky underscores the value of versatility, as he adeptly adapted his style to suit various clients' needs. Being an "illustration chameleon" allowed him to attract a broader clientele and more projects.

Listeners are encouraged to adopt these strategies and adapt them to their creative careers. Rocky also shares a list of his favorite illustrators, offering inspiration to aspiring artists and creatives.

This episode serves as a motivating testament to the potential for financial success in the world of illustration, dispelling the notion of the struggling artist and providing actionable insights for those looking to thrive in the industry.

How might we approach astrologer-client relationships through the lens of care work? How do we cultivate secure attachment in these relationships? How can astrology assist us in the process of caring for our chosen families?

I'm excited to share this expansive, Jupiterian-wisdom-weaving conversation with the brilliant astrologer ET Shipley. Erin and I have been working together in a 1:1 capacity in the past few months and I've been continuously inspired by the compassion, presence, resourcefulness, and commitment with which Erin shows up to each session.

In this conversation, we discussed what it means to be an astrologer who also does client work in the age of collapse. Erin also shared how she frames the idea of care work through the lens of the 3rd and the 6th house as well as the Moon, Mercury, and Mars.

Halfway through the conversation, Erin shared some thoughts about the Mars in Gemini transit. I find this part of our conversation so illuminating, especially in light of the fact that we've been living out this transit for 6 months or so.

Here's Erin's bio: 

Erin Tack Shipley is a liberation-centered, collapse astrologer supporting folx in staying with the challenge of being in right relationship within and beyond systems of oppression. Working with astrology and attachment fundamentals, Erin helps people reconcile the gap between how they are in the reality of their present conditions and who they perceive themselves to be in their ideal world. Erin lives, works and tends community on the unceded and occupied lands of the Amah Mutsun, Popeloutchom, Awaswas and Ohlone peoples.

Here's a confession: I NEVER intended to be a coach, start a podcast or even become an entrepreneur... it all sort of just happened by accident (but that's a story for another time on the show). In this solo episode, I'm diving deep into why I decided to become a podcast coach, what my program Ready, Set, Podcast looks like, who it's for, and most importantly, what drives me as a coach (hint: it has to do with empowering others to share their message) and why for me, my client's transformations, their confidence boost  & their goals are at the forefront of what I do.

Today's episode is based on a newsletter I released recently on learning how to roll with the punches and pivoting to client work.

A couple of weeks back, I had an experience with a client that made me really think and reflect on how important pivoting is for creatives. It's something that is talked about quite a  bit but still not enough to teach us how to deal with it when it's needed.

There will always be moments when you're working on a project for a client where you'll need to shift gears—usually, it's something small. Other times, it can something major, such as the client not liking anything you've created.

Next, it's what we do; that really defines us and sets us apart from other creatives.

Do you sit there and stare into space for hours, letting the stress of the pivot fester like an open wound? Or do you take action and put together a plan to help lead not only yourself but your client out of whatever situation you're in? 

Hopefully, you choose the latter.

So if you have any questions, please feel free to ask them on my Instagram account or Twitter, and please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the podcast! (:

So, what do you do if a client offers you a job doing something you've never done before? Do you sigh, let fear win, and say no? Do you boss up, say yes, and learn as you go? You want to do a good job, but you also know your skills aren't there yet. You are at a crossroads, my friend. Listen to my new podcast for some helpful tips on what to do.

In this episode, we’re going to talk about the importance of side projects and how they can lead to fantastic opportunities in your creative career.

Throughout my career, I have worked on many side projects, each with its own challenges, learning opportunities, and payoffs. I’ve learned that there is so much power in creating your own side projects and sharing them with the world.

Today, I share a few stories and examples of side projects I’ve created and the opportunities they have led to along the way. If you’d like to read more about my thoughts on side projects, you can find a blog post I wrote on the same subject on my website.

Nuggets of Wisdom:

1) Side Projects Are A Way to Create Your Own Opportunities. - In life, if we really want to succeed, we need to sometimes create our own opportunities, not just wait for them to fall into our laps. Side Projects help us to create our own opportunities and can lead to ones we never thought possible.

2) Treat Your Side Projects Like You Would Client Work. - When you set out to start a side project, write up your own project brief, listing out in detail your goals for the project, the work you think it’ll entail and any additional information you might find helpful. The more planning you do at the start, the better prepared you’ll be when you’re elbows deep into your project.

3) Not All Projects Will Be Success Stories - Unfortunately, not all side projects will end in sunshine and rainbows. Many will fail or come to an end due to a variety of different factors. Be prepared for the chance that your side project may end without being a success story.

4) Know When to Pull the Plug on Your Project - As I said, not all projects end in success, but we have to know when it’s time to pull the plug. In my own experience, there were many times where I should have ended a side project, but I let them drag on and on, causing me to acquire debt and fatigue from trying too hard on something I lost my passion for.

Pattern libraries can help you streamline the design process and build a flexible system (instead of static pages). Today we're exploring this concept with Laura Elizabeth — a fantastic designer, writer & speaker. You'll learn how to plan and build a pattern library, how to document it, and how to make your clients fall in love with the result.
