All your work: gone.

You don’t OWN your tools and your projects.

Imagine this: You just signed your biggest client yet. Fortune500 big! This is a breakthrough moment of your entire career.

Champagne pops. You’re the happiest designer in the world right now. Life is beautiful!

You get a 40 page contract and NDA’s to sign and get to work.

One part of that contract never even registers on your radar.

That harmless little clause of penalty payments if you don’t deliver the project on time. Compounding with each day of being over the deadline.

Contract with a big client

Why would you care? You’re going to work non stop and deliver it ahead of schedule after all. You need to make a great impression. This is the moment that supercharges your career.

All goes well until…

The project starts off great. The client is happy with your initial work and you’re already basking in the glow of your bright future.
