The Brutal Truth About Being a Graphic Designer on Social Media - Jack Chitty PART 2

Being a graphic designer on social media isn’t as easy as it looks…In Part 2 of my conversation with Jack Chitty (@chittco), we dive deep into the brutal reality of building a freelance graphic design career online—the hate comments, the self-doubt, the validation trap, and how social media can either make or break you as a creative.

Jack opens up about:
🔥 How going viral almost destroyed his confidence
🔥 The imposter syndrome that still haunts him
🔥 Why designers obsess over numbers (and why it’s dangerous)
🔥 The real reason clients find him through social media
🔥 His game-changing mindset shift for staying creative

If you've ever felt burnt out, stuck chasing likes, or doubted your own skills, then buckle up matey. Being a successful designer isn’t about followers—it’s about the work.
