There’s a common character trait I’ve noticed amongst other independent professionals I’ve had the pleasure of working with. All of them, no matter what, quite literally, do not do shoulder shrugs. Ever.
They never say oh well, not my problem.
They don’t just sit their twiddling their thumbs waiting for someone else to figure it out for them. No way. The independent professionals are always getting in there, figuring it out, diving in, solving problems, and finding opportunities. Why do they do this? Simple. No body else is gonna fucking do it for them. Period.
Anyone out there who is looking for a designer, this is what you’ll find if you go with one who is independent.
