In Web3 and AI, I see the same pattern again and again:
→ Founders chasing "fast and affordable"
→ Getting surface-level design
→ Then… hiring someone again to fix it
Here’s what I’ve noticed
after working with dozens of founders:
The cheaper the work, the more doubts, micromanagement, and second-guessing.
The higher the price, the more clarity, responsibility, and respect on both sides.
Creative service isn’t just about visuals. It’s about thinking. And good thinking takes time, experience, and care. But many forget that.
There was a boom of junior designers.
Courses everywhere. Templates. Quick wins.
Now the hype is gone.
Projects slowed down.
And the market is flooded with
“pretty” but directionless design.
So here’s what I tell my clients:
If you want to save money - invest once in people who know what they’re doing.
They won’t just make it look good.
They’ll make it work.
And that’s what really saves budget in the long run.
