Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in graphic design but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Garrett Staehs, Founder of Styles By Staehs, located in Chandler, AZ, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My business is freelance graphic design. My customers are entrepreneurs, small businesses, and anyone needing a brand-new logo or freshening up their current one.
Tell us about yourself
I have always been passionate about creativity and design. I developed my skills over the years and thought to myself, why not make a bit of money on the side while helping my clients see their vision come to life? Having the opportunity to create something new every day and tackle new design challenges motivates me every day.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Consistently getting clients and delivering them a great logo every time makes me feel like I finally made it as a business owner.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Trying to please everyone can be a struggle; sometimes, that is just not possible, but taking it as a learning tool and applying it to being a better designer for the future is key.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Success takes time, so don’t give up too soon and keep at it.
- Always be willing to grow and improve yourself every day, little by little.
- Ask for help or advice from someone who has been there before to help navigate your problems.
