Update: my newly adopted sims family is doing well 💜

Why you should WURK IT sooner than later: rae.design/blog/why-now...

Learn more about the package at the link or get in my DMs and lets chat about what you're thinking when it comes to your brand. 😘

YESSSS. I feel like I’ve been in this space for a minute. 😅

It’s hard to point out the bad actors and really watch out for them.

However, I will add that I’ve had some pretty great experiences too!

DAMN! Be safe and extra cautious (as I'm sure you already are!)

Ya know, things like that.

Get weekly brand strategy tidbits from me when you drop your deets here: rae.design/subscribe

And maybe I'll see you in your inbox tomorrow. 😏

- a little reminder of the week, usually centered around not being so hard on yourself (they're as much for me as they are for you)

- when I really don't feel like showing up & writing the email, but still do, because consistency as a business matters to the overall trust people feel in your brand.

I share things like...

- whats going on bts at Rae Design HQ, what I'm struggling with, and how I'm getting through it

- lil peeks at projects I'm working on, like brand refreshes, photography, and lots of websites lately.

YES EXACTLY 👏

In the end what matters is the client feeling confident enough to actually use and/or implement what we just worked on.

YES PLZ I LOVE THIS – because milestones AFTER the project is complete 🥰

I think that'll help you (+clients) actually take action on the project you just completed – whether its strategy or just design. You (or the client) still has to take action on it for it to have a chance at working.

And it’s hard to trust again when you’ve been let down and disappointed before.

It feels easier to maintain that DIY energy even tho it could be exactly what’s holding you back.

Yes, and you’re stuck paying the bill! I think that brings a yuuuuge buyer hesitation – especially when buying services that don’t have an immediate deliverable like brand strategy (or any strategy work really).

It’s the question of, “is this actually gonna help or am I just wasting time & money?”

OPE love this point. There's been lots of times that a sales page doesn't match the actual experience I have and its so disappointing. 🙃

I hear this happen a LOT in the design world from my clients perspective. And at the end of the day, what matters is how the client feels about the project, not the designer. (Even though the designers input is still important, it's not the only thing that matters)

That's exactly what I want – for them to feel supported and comfortable enough to tell me if something isn't sitting right rather than just going with it b/c they're scared or uncomfortable to say something!

OOF. Firstly – just considering other humans and where they're at can change the perspective of how they view and interact with your business.

I think its a 10, easy! But I don't have stats or data to really back it up. 😅
