WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
You’ll learn how to stop guessing on how you need to price your creative work. What numbers do you need to know? What should your mentality be while pricing your work? How do you get over that fear of asking for a budget? How do you protect against scope creep? How do you not scare away a potential client with a quote when it is the price you need to do your work? We’ll discuss and help you make next steps to better pricing practices.
Please bring your own scenarios — we’ll get a chance to talk about your questions in the moderated Q+A!

Freelancers, Creative Leaders, Design Business Owners, Art Directors / Designers, Design Managers, Future Design Leaders — anyone who wants a boost in confidence to price your creative work right.
