We call our library
‘The Design Business Review’
It’s a library of articles about the business of design.
The articles are based on real questions from real design businesses — pricing, positioning, client management, mental wellbeing, and the research we've done into what actually works. Many originated from knowledge earned from 30 years running a studio, and updated with research and insights from mentoring sessions with Australian designers.
New articles land every Wednesday morning AEST, straight to your inbox.

Changing the way clients look at your pricing
You quote the same fee and deliverables and one client signs without blinking. Another baulks and asks you to “revisit the numbers.” What changed is the framing, not the price.
Your design has impact. But…
Every design project creates impact, whether the designer or client chooses to recognise it or not. The challenge is to understand what that impact might be.
