Thanks Celine, great article!, even though it’s too late for me (I have already run away from this kind of clients a couple of years ago), many others will find this lines crucially important in their freelance careers.

Anyway, I want to make a note of this article: If you find a client like these “self-destructive clientes”, drop her, don’t work for her, apologize and run away as quickly as you can, they aren’t worth the trouble neither the effort. There are a lot of good clients in the world, believe me.

Bye!

I think this is really right on. So often people hire a designer and tell them that “they are the designer”, but they really dictate every inch of the design. Personally if I can’t be super proud of something we’ve worked on I don’t do it. I don’t care how much a clients wants it, if it’s a bad idea, it’s a bad idea.

Of course we will always try things first if we’re not sure… but, as they say, we’re the designers.
