Ever since the Renaissance, the world has firmly embraced the idea of the individual artist, as opposed to the collective nature of art and design found in earlier cultures.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/who-should-care-more-about-your-design-you-or-your-client\/You-The-Designer.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" alt=\"you the designer\"><\/figure>\n<p>People hire designers <strong>as much for their personal flair and aesthetic sense<\/strong> as they do for their <strong>problem-solving skills.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As the designer, <strong>your name is attached to everything you produce<\/strong>, and your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/reputation-management-how-it-affects-your-freelance-career\/\">reputation as a competent professional<\/a> is tested each time one of your designs goes public.

No (well, I don\u2019t think so, anyway). It means I <strong>only accept projects that will allow me to invest that level of pride<\/strong> into.<\/p>\n<p>If a project is outside my niche, or is uninteresting to me, or the client engages in business practices I don\u2019t agree with, I will turn it down. This has the effect of creating a self-fulfilling cycle: <strong>the choosier I am with my projects, the more often I get offered projects I absolutely love<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>How? The work I end up producing and putting in my portfolio is a <strong>more accurate reflection of my style and values<\/strong>, which sends a very clear message to potential clients.
