In my years as the founder of
@garnetartschool
, i have witnessed the struggle of creatives trying to find their feet in the creative industry and i know how difficult this can be.
I dey find assistant.
Someone who's priority is to understudy, learn on the job, preferably a recent grad who needs experience. You'll be doing creative stuff.
I'm an entrepreneur, designer, agency founder, strategist.
@_nangz
said I should find assistant...
DM me.
Finally got a retainer client paying in dollars. Small amount but off to a good start.
One of my goals for this year was to have at least 3 retainer clients paying in dollars, cos omo, Seriphics needs the money to scale. 😭😭
Hope we can keep this one for a long time.

If a man is aroused because I'm doing my thing that's on him not me, I didn't walk up to him, I didn't even look at him, how is that my fault.....😭😭😭
I hate when people blame women like this....

First thing I saw was a banana but I later saw the concept when I used my designer eye.
Overal the icon is too busy. What I would advice is ask your clients more questions that allow you understand the goal and vision of the business so you can get more non-literal concepts.
My branding agency
@seriphics
increased in revenue by a little over 2000% last year.
I was going through our books and I saw the total. I was very happy because I know how slow 2021 was. I have decided to share with you the things I did differently in 2022

FINDING YOUR PATH AND STICKING TO IT.
I have been facing issues with knowing how I want to use my social media platforms to help others and add value. And I realized that I needed to sit back and look at it this way; If no one else created content what would you create?

I've finally done brand strategy, marketing strategy and sales strategy fully and finished for Seriphics.

15+ road maps
I'm more confident doing this for a client now. My team has been on it for a little over a month now. Na money to execute remain. 😅
I met
@kanayouzo
yesterday and our argument is making me think.
He's saying that Brand strategy is more business development than what we usually do, which should be called identity design (crafting the brand's persona or behaviour).
What do you guys think?
Hi everyone. I've gotten lots of dms (I'm actually suprised by this). It has become highly competitive as I just need 1 person, but I'll reply to everyone and have conversations soon. Thank you. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
It's how fashion illustration is showing face in branding for me.
The project we're working on at my agency requires us to do staff uniform design and because I have fashion illustration skills I'm going as far as creating a tech pack for production.
Dm if you want to learn too
I and
@jahimah_
reworked our strategy process at
@seriphics
to something more robust and we are about to get the first client who will enjoy it.
Would be working on the proposal after my short call with him.
Hey fellow entrepreneurs. I want to use this opportunity to allow you share problems you're facing in your business and I'll go ahead to suggest some solutions and other entrepreneurs can share too.
This could birth a collaboration that can take your business to the next level.
If you want to build a brand and grow your business, find that emotional connection you can have with your potential customers or audience.
We should shift from advertising the product we sell rather advertise the experience customers will have when using our product.
I have a free 2 months training starting tomorrow. I want to open it up to more people. We are 4 right now and I'm looking at 15.
If you're a creative or business owner check the image for the curriculum and if you're interested, send me a dm saying why you need the training.
WHAT I'VE LEARNT FROM
#HILDABACICOOKATHON
1. PR: Blow the trumpet first!! I've always thought one has to wait for people to notice you, but hilda here had a plan to put herself out there and now many more people are noticing her.
I just want to say, those of you that have new clients every other month. Omo. Kudos o.
I've already made peace with the fact that, it's normal to not have new clients every month.
Focus on your old clients abeg. 😭😭 Cos na the only reason I dey survive rn. Old clients.
@Hauwa_L
Honestly, I have a fashion brand as well. I design the cloth, I take it to factory, we work on the style for months, we launch and someone will take the picture and send to tailor from somewhere. You can't expect to get the same quality and result bruh.

Honestly, being a creative sometimes is hard. Being an entrepreneur is just frustrating. It's more frustrating when you have so many ideas that you can't pursue.
But we entrepreneurs are built to keep pushing and doing what we love.
In the space of 2 weeks one of our new international clients brought in 3 projects one after the other. And they are monthly subscriptions.
We literally just sent our service agreement for the 3rd one a few hours ago.
The team
@seriphics
is running a practice project where we would be building a web3 brand.
We need someone who will act as our client, preferably someone who is familiar with web3.
Any volunteers??
Hey, in this video I share search worthy youtube video ideas for beginners on youtube. It took some time to put these video ideas together just to save you that stress. If you do love this video, please like and subscribe to my channel.
Welcome to the new quarter.
Honestly there's a lot I have to share and I will soon enough, but one major thing that has stood out to me this past 6 months is that you can achieve anything if you just set your mind to it.
Getting your mind action ready is where the work is.
Let's appreciate people today!
I'll start with
@theChrisDo
. His videos got me into the branding world back in 2017 and even helped with my transition from design to strategy last year. Chris do also helped with me building my agency to where it is now through his videos.
I just had a very annoying conversation with someone. 😭😭😭 No offence but old people can be stressful. They don't want to come down from the "I'm older than you" wagon and learn.

Hmm, is it just me that doesn't feel comfortable with this, I can't be only me. I prefer to have my own income and let my man give what he wants. 20% is a lot. I invested 20% of my own income...😩

4. Good time management.
.... Happy birthday sir!! Keep being you! A rear gem.
I'm becoming less of a designer everyday. There's so much business stuff to do when building an agency.
Need to find time to just have fun designing. 🥺
I want to design a social media post template for 1 small business for free. Drop your IG handle here.
The package will include:

You guys should get ready for the casestudy mehn. Full brand building, from strategy to launch + a lot of team work with other professionals. 😊😊
Hi Sheba here
Seriphics has come a long way since when we started back in 2017. Then we called ourselves Garneta Graphics. This was a time when I struggled as this was the beginning to my entrepreneurial journey.
We have now gotten around to communicating our client experience.
There was a while long wahala with this new laptop thing. But I finally have a new one.
Asus zephyrus g15.
I'll do a YouTube video after I use it for a while
Had a great session with
@TunjiOgunoye
on
@ADPList
today! It was amazing.
Got a lot of direction and clarity on what to do for my branding agency. Thank you
@TunjiOgunoye
Everything just went from organized to overwhelmed.
3 potential clients in 2 days, drafting proposals and pricing is a lot. And I'm not a fan of numbers.
I must get at least 1 o 😭😭😭
This guy is very rude, insulting every African claiming we're not making sense. It's trash, I'm sorry, but this guy is breeding people with hate. He's making us hate ourselves more, like wtf.
#FBA
So, Seriphics has a blog and I thought it won't be bad to let it be open to anyone who wants to share anything to entrepreneurs.
You know those things you wish your clients were educated about before they came to you.
If you'll like to be featured on out blog dm me or comment.
And my fellow agency founders and designers who motivate me when I'm down.
@gideontom
@rehobothige_
@a_idume
. You guys are the real MVPs.
Thank you guys for being a part of my journey.
@TunjiOgunoye
, this man is a blessing. My casestudies used to be trash and now they are better because he showed me the light and the way. He also introduced me to
@victorfatanmi
who has been giving me advice as a female agency founder. I've been taking steps to improve as well.
This is 100% fact. One of the reason why I hosted "The Business of Creativity" training program this year that covered a lot on doing business as a creative. There's gonna be another next year but you can check out TBC 1.0 here.
Getting good with your craft is only Step 1 in freelance work.
To thrive, you must also hone your business skills. From networking to negotiation, invoicing, marketing, onboarding and time mgt... these are the other issues 😁
How are you pulling through? (For those who are).
If I had a pricing calculator that all you had to do is drop in figures and you have a complete pricing for services and service packages, would that be a steal?
Are there wall artists that would be willing to paint another designer's illustrations on a wall. Like a mural.
I think I need such a person in my circle for upcoming stuff.....
