Using AI in Design Client Work, Yes or No? Here's What Designers Think...
In this episode, I'm exploring an anonymous confession about using AI in creative work through a community-driven discussion. I collected anonymous responses that represent a range of viewpoints, highlighting the conversations happening in the creative community. DISCLAIMER: This episode aims to create understanding and encourage a conversation rather than shame. Even though all responses couldn't be read in this episode, I aimed to read multiple responses with differing viewpoints. I acknowledge the complexity of the issues discussed & I do want to emphasise that I am still unsure where I stand on the topic. My approach with this episode is to present various perspectives and let you draw your own conclusions.Ready to share your story, opinions or those questions you feel like you can’t ask?

Designers Are Googling Each Other’s Clients? | Community Reaction Episode
In this episode, I’m doing something a little different.Recently, I sent out a newsletter about how I noticed designers Googling each other’s clients to “check if the projects are real.” I didn’t expect much. But then… my inbox exploded.Turns out, people have thoughts. Some agreed with me. Some challenged me. So in today’s episode, I’m reading out a bunch of those anonymous replies and reacting to each one with my honest take.We’re talking:Whether designers should disclose passion projectsWhy people get weird about “fake clients”The pressure to look busy onlineReal vs. passion work and does it even matter?If you’ve ever hesitated to share a mock project or worried you’d be seen as “less than” for doing passion work, this one's for youMENTIONED EPISODE: When pretending to have clients backfiresReady to share your story, opinions or those questions you feel like you can’t ask?

Giving Design Clients Free Work Out of Frustration
Let’s talk about that moment where you’re so drained by a project that you start doing more just to end it. You’re not alone, but there’s a difference between overdelivering intentionally and handing over extras just to escape.In this episode, I’m digging into why we overdeliver when we’re frustrated (and why it backfires), along with the emotional toll of dragging projects. We’ll also touch on why burnout doesn’t care how much you’re getting paid and how poor communication causes most boundary breaks.And if you’re looking for a bit of practical advice there’s some bits on what to say when you don’t want to do more work outside of the initial agreement (even if the client offers to pay).The anonymous confession: “Sometimes I get to the point with a frustrating client that I just give them additional patterns and social media stuff for free because I want the project to be done. Is this bad?”Ready to share your story, opinions or those questions you feel like you can’t ask?
