    Nov 5 2024

    Forget the Branding BS and start embracing what truly sets you apart.
    In this episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we’re diving deep into the world of branding and personal authenticity with none other than Anneli Hansson. Known for her no-nonsense approach, Anneli sheds light on how brands and designers alike can cut through the corporate jargon and connect on a human level.

Together, we tear down the myths that keep designers stuck in the order-taker role and discuss how to shift from being a task-doer to a problem-seeker, helping you build a brand that actually connects.

    • How to create authentic branding without getting lost in corporate BS
    • The real difference between branding and marketing—and why it matters
    • Proven strategies to take control and start solving real problems for clients

  • What Graphic Designers Need to Reclaim and Why Your Future Depends on it!
    Oct 29 2024

    Graphic designers have been cornered for far too long—boxed out of web design by coding barriers, developers who just don’t get it, and platforms that never really worked for us. The web was always meant to be a designer’s playground—so why did we walk away from it?

    In this episode of The Angry Designer podcast, we dive deep into the biggest missed opportunity in graphic design and why reclaiming the web is no longer optional—it’s essential to your survival. Whether you’ve tried building websites before and felt burned, or you’ve avoided web design altogether, we're here to shatter those fears and encourage graphic designers to reclaim web design.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why web design should have always been under your control
    • The real reasons designers abandoned the web—and how to fix it
    • How no-code tools are making web design easier than ever (no developer required)
    • Three easy steps to start offering web services today—and get paid what you’re worth
    • Why embracing web design now could be the difference between staying relevant or falling behind

    By the end, you’ll understand why your design journey has to evolve—and how the web could be the key to taking your business to the next level. The future is wide open for designers—if you’re ready to claim it.

  • How Not Being Authentic Is KILLING Your Graphic Design Career
    Oct 22 2024

    What if the reason you’re not landing the right Graphic Design clients is because you’re too busy trying to be someone you’re not? Too many Graphic Designers focus on trends, what’s hot, and what they think clients want. But what if clients are looking for exactly what you’re not giving—your true self?

    In this episode of The Angry Designer, we’re exposing how being fake costs more than it earns and why authenticity is your secret weapon. How staying true to your values attracts better clients, and how saying "no" to the wrong work opens the door to bigger, better opportunities.

    You’ll learn:

    • The Danger of Selling Out vs. Scaling Up – How compromising your values can stall your career.
    • The Power of Authenticity – Why being yourself attracts better clients and bigger opportunities.
    • Saying NO to Say YES – How setting boundaries creates space for growth and success.

    Don’t let inauthenticity ruin your design career! Listen now and learn how to thrive by staying true to your values, attracting the right clients, and building a business you believe in.
