I recently stopped by Nicole Yang's Intersection of Design YouTube series to discuss how to make the most out of the contractors you hire and how to collaborate for success. We chat about why your marketing strategy is so crucial to your brand, and why your brand is more than just your logo. We delve into the good and bad of working with contractors, and how best to include contractors in your business as part of your team. We dig into working with a design contractor to get exactly what you envision. Hint: it all starts with communication and curiosity.
