I made this design a little over a year ago.
At the time I was working on small projects with 1-2 clients. Today I have many clients on my subscription, working on projects I love.
If you're a UI designer, here's my super vague and borderline unhelpful advice that helped me 10x my design agency in a year:
1. Productize yourself. Run a one-person design agency on a subscription model.
2. Post your work. I only posted on X, 2–3 times a week. That was my entire braindead strategy.
3. Obsess over details. Most of the buttons in my feed took 2–5 hours each. I wouldn't be here without those damn buttons.
4. Copy other designers, but never steal. Recreate work from designers you admire, then iterate until it's yours. It's still how I get better.
5. Don't get attached to your work. You're not original, and people will likely take your designs if you're doing your job right. Make something cool and move on. If people do happen to steal from you, you're heading in the right direction.
Anyway... *hugs and kisses*, you can do it!😘
One Day, or, Day One.
Would be cool to see more buttons switch like this on websites.
