In this episode with illustrator Mary Purdie, we will share stories from our best and worst clients and what we learned from each. We cover everything from our opinions on doing free work to how to turn down a project without being rude. Sometimes it’s hard to figure out whether or not a project will be a worth wild effort, but at the end of the day, you just gotta follow your gut. You have to learn to read the major red flags for nightmare clients so you can find peace in your freelance life.
