Last year I went from charging simple website $2,000 per project to over $4,000. Same clients, same work — I just changed how I packaged myself. In this video I break down the exact skills I added to my design toolkit and how much more I charge for each one.

This isn't about becoming an expert at everything. It's about learning just enough to deliver the whole project yourself — so the budget that would've gone to someone else goes straight to you.

I also show you how I structure my proposals so clients see the full value and don't even question the price.
