Why Charging What You’re Worth Has Nothing to Do With Confidence
Most designers think pricing is an emotional problem. It’s not. Pricing is a clarity problem.
Designers charge appropriately when they understand what they’re offering, how it’s delivered, and what problems it solves.
Clients pay for risk reduction, decision leadership, time savings, and professional management.
Money follows competence. Structure makes pricing defensible.
