How to explain what you do as a designer or writer

Episode 43: How to explain what you do as a designer or writer

In today's episode, my guest Anders and I get a little philosophical. With both freelancing and in-house experience under our belt, we've both noticed one challenge that never seems to get any easier to solve: how to best describe what we do to clients or employers. No matter if it's about choosing a title or understanding a brief, going broad or niching down can make or break a career. Here are our thoughts on understanding what we do (as creatives) and explaining it to others.

Learning outcomes:

• Popular titles in design
• Popular titles for writers
• How titles affect a pitch
• Describing what you do
• Defining what you do
• How niching down or being a generalist affect your chances of finding work
