The big mistake here is missing an opportunity to get professional help guide you through the design process to a stunning result. One designer does not fit all. We encourage potential clients to interview all members of their design team, meet them in person and try each other out and see how it feels. Creepy? Or did you click? Ask questions that help you determine if designers want to know your goals or do they have their own?
