Designers Are Googling Each Other’s Clients? | Community Reaction Episode

In this episode, I’m doing something a little different.Recently, I sent out a newsletter about how I noticed designers Googling each other’s clients to “check if the projects are real.” I didn’t expect much. But then… my inbox exploded.Turns out, people have thoughts. Some agreed with me. Some challenged me. So in today’s episode, I’m reading out a bunch of those anonymous replies and reacting to each one with my honest take.We’re talking:Whether designers should disclose passion projectsWhy people get weird about “fake clients”The pressure to look busy onlineReal vs. passion work and does it even matter?If you’ve ever hesitated to share a mock project or worried you’d be seen as “less than” for doing passion work, this one’s for you.MENTIONED EPISODE: When pretending to have clients backfiresReady to share your story, opinions or those questions you feel like you can’t ask? ⁠⁠Submit it hereGet The Newsletter, Templates & Design Freebies ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Robin on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the Podcast Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enjoying the podcast?
