STORY TIME: A couple years ago, I loaned a friend a few thousand € to help pay for a masters at a top school in Europe. I didn’t think it was a big deal because they would find a job after graduation and could begin to pay me back. Fast forward almost a year after their graduation ➡️ friend has a huge portfolio of REALLY GOOD DESIGNS. BUT they’re suffering from imposter syndrome big time. Like they think they should only charge ~$20/hour even after I told them that they could be charging DOUBLE that with their creative skills. NOW it’s starting to become an itty bitty problem for me bc I’ve been out of a job for a few months and I’ve turned to eating rice and lentils to stay in budget bc backup savings deplete quickly and the short term loan isn’t so short term it seems. SO what I need from this lovely community is COMPLIMENTS. Check out this design my friend created and sent me, but still not happy with… Isn’t it gorgeous?

The work is beautiful. Tell your friend to go watch Chris Do (The Futur) on LinkedIn. He specializes in teaching artists how to overcome imposter syndrome and ask for the compensation that they are worth.
