Not a single client has ever left me because of bad design. Not one! Budget constraints, timelines, project scope? Sure, but bad design? Never! As much as that feels like a flex, it's also a huge realization. I used to work in an agency as Head of Design, managing a team of talented designers. Yet, several designs were rejected. Why? The focus was on finishing projects, not on delivering kickass design! Freelancing has taught me to understand my clients better. I take on fewer clients, allowing for deeper, more meaningful conversations. I get to know what their brand means to them, their goals, and their vision. I don't have to control my creativity between 9 and 5, and I don't have to jump between 5 projects every day, breaking my creative flow. Now, I can dedicate three days straight to one client or work on a burst of inspiration at 2 AM because I focus on quality, not just quantity. And maybe that's why my clients stick with me. Here's to keeping it that way! 💪

🌟 Kicking Off My Freelancing Journey! 🎉 I’m thrilled to share one of my recent logo design projects—a clean and modern oven logo that represents warmth and functionality.

Stuck in a freelance rut? 🤔 We’ve all been there. When things slow down, it’s the perfect time to focus on developing your business. Here’s what I do to stay on track: • Reach out to past clients: They may need help, and it’s nice to check in and see how they're getting on. • Network and make new connections: Expand your circle—whether with clients or fellow designers, so you can lean on each other. • Double down on marketing efforts: Ramp up social media posts while you’ve got the time. That way, they’re ready to go when things get busy again. • Take time to breathe and recharge: Go for a surf and enjoy the fact you don’t have to work today, instead of stressing about it. • Refine your processes & documents: What better time to review your workflows and make improvements for when the next client comes around? What do you do to get out of a rut? Drop your tips in the comments! www.mhtdesign.co.uk

I’ve redesigned my portfolio 3 times this year. And guess what? It still doesn’t feel finished. There’s always something to change—a better layout, smoother animations, or new ideas to add. But here’s the lesson I’ve learned: If you wait for it to be perfect, you’ll never launch it. Over the years, I’ve noticed something. The best portfolios aren’t the ones with the most likes or fancy designs. They’re the ones that exist—the ones that tell a story and connect with the right people. Even a messy portfolio is better than nothing. Because: If your work has value, clients don’t care about how “perfect” your portfolio looks—they care about the results you bring. Because finished is always better than perfect. When are you going to lunch? Your portfolio? — Enjoy this? ♻️ Repost it to your network and follow Faizur Rehman for more.
