When I first started out, I branded myself as a freelance designer. Freelancing is a great way to start out, but if you’re just doing it to cover the basic needs, you’ll be scrambling forever to keep up. There are options though — and I thought I found the perfect solution. Today I brand myself as a graphic designer and design consultant, as opposed to freelance graphic designer, and while I can’t be sure if it makes any difference, all my clients since the change have been very happy with what I’m producing. It seems to have cut down on a particular type of client, the one who seems more than willing to hire you for your expertise, even though they believe their knowledge of good design to be far superior.
