In our current podcast series, I interview the owners of 4 very different graphic design businesses and we dive deep into their marketing.
Today’s episode is the third of the series and I interview Nicole Yang, who’s based in Raleigh North Carolina.
While listening to this episode, keep an ear out for Nicole’s unique design philosophy that helps her stand out among other designers.
Also, Nicole’s approach to securing clients at the beginning of her business journey set her up for long-term success. I recommend considering how you might be able to replicate something similar in your business.
“So often I think that people approach design like it’s art, and it’s not. Design should be beautiful, but most of all, especially when you’re designing for a business, it really needs to amplify.” – Nicole Yang
