WA Digital

After nearly 7 years of working for other design agencies and working with countless clients, I am opting into starting my own small, independent web design studio for early-stage B2B startups full-time. And frankly, I’m afraid. Afraid of what others will think, afraid of what might—or might not happen, and afraid of failure. But I also strongly believe, that true growth doesn’t come from a place of comfort. I strongly believe in my own skillset—and have evidence that shows how I can go above and beyond for clients. So, despite the little voice in my head that was telling me to continue to take advantage of the lovely benefits of being a full-time W2 employee working in tech, I’m taking the leap and giving it a shot on my own. Thankfully, I have been trusted to work directly with clients in my previous roles, explored freelancing part-time throughout my career, and have had opportunities to lead a variety of design projects from end-to-end. So even though this transition is incredibly simple from a logistical perspective when considering how I’ll actually be serving clients, it is still surreal to think that it’s now all on me. Even though that might sound scary, it’s a good thing. A true motivator to figure things out, and make sure that I am delivering so much value for clients that they can’t say no to working with me, or at the very least, referring me to their network. I’ll be using this space to consistently share my process, opinions on what web design and branding should look like for early-stage startups, and most importantly, actual client work. If you’re an expert in this space, I expect to be challenged. I need people challenging my opinions publicly now more than ever, and hope to build lasting relationships with others in the industry. Let’s do this! 🚀
