When members of our community get together to share experience and expertise, we all gain. In this episode, BOD™ Member Dane Austin, takes over the mic and talks with fellow design professional, Sashya Thind, about how when your process is structured, it allows the creativity to flow.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • If the process is structured, the creativity can flow
  • The more people you hire, the easier your job gets, the easier your life gets
  • The importance of defining the scope of work, what’s included, and what isn’t
  • The value of charging for the consultation
  • A hybrid model of charging for your design fees
  • To make sure all decision makers are involved and talk about money early
  • If you want the best results, be the expert in the room
