I am breaking down the top three lead generating activities that have consistently brought me high quality clients as a brand and web designer, without chasing trends or burning out. These are the systems I still rely on today as a design business owner and creative CEO, and they work whether you are a freelance designer or running a small studio.

This conversation is for every freelance designer, brand and web designer, and design business owner who wants to attract better clients, price with confidence, and build a business that lasts.

You’re doing everything right. Great portfolio. Polished mockups. Refined skills. You’ve studied the trends, followed the advice, stayed consistent with your content. You’ve taken courses, built case studies, cleaned up your website, and tried to make every project look perfect. You’ve probably spent hours tweaking your fonts, updating mockups, rewriting your About page, hoping that this time it will finally land you clients.
You’ve invested in yourself. You’ve grown. You know your work is good. So why aren’t you fully booked?
Why are you still stuck wondering where the next client is coming from? Why are you pouring effort into your brand with little to show for it, while designers with half your skill seem to be booked out months in advance?
It’s not about talent. It’s not about luck. And it’s definitely not about posting more carousels.
In this episode, I’m sharing what actually keeps talented designers stuck and the changes I made that finally started bringing in consistent, high paying clients. We’re breaking down the real reasons clients aren’t reaching out and what to do instead.
