We dived deep into:
π₯ The power of backengineering in design β how Will deconstructed work to teach himself design from scratch.
π¨ Why failing more makes you a better designer β embracing mistakes as part of the process.
π‘ The art of branding & typography β why Will creates fonts for clients and how it transforms brand identity.
π£ Communication & creativity β the secret skill that separates good designers from great ones.
π₯ Working with his wife in design β the real challenges & benefits of building a business together.
π Imposter syndrome & self-doubt β why it never fully goes away and how to use it as a superpower.
