What’s your identity?
What’s really going on behind the curtains (i.e. the rookie entrepreneur’s brain)?
Do you know how hard it is to take yourself through a design process regarding your own business? Sometimes I’ve considered hiring another professional! — Not kidding, the thought has crossed my mind. But talk about the ultimate disservice 😂. I’m learning it takes even more self motivation than it takes to be a freelancer in general, more patience (kids are good teachers), and lots of late nights. Usually involving Reese’s cups.

Personal branding is the most challenging obstacle I’ve faced as a freelance designer. I currently operate in the State of Ohio under Ash Husain Design (what a mouth full), and can’t seem to force myself to finish a logo for my personal freelance business because I’m constantly wanting to change. And of course, feeling ashamed every time I slap on my little 5-minute “sticker” logo because it isn’t representing who I am. I have a million ideas for business names, logos, color themes. How does one decide?
