Pricing my work has been a massive challenge for me this year and being a new designer, it can be tempting to take free work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My biggest piece of advice would be to trust that if they don\u2019t want to pay you for your time, they are not worth your time. More clients will come along if you work hard enough and market yourself well. I am getting more confident with pricing and it has been a steep learning curve I am grateful to have tackled before I graduate!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2019\/07\/edit5-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2019\/07\/edit5-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2019\/07\/edit5-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2019\/07\/edit5-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2019\/07\/edit5-370x208.png 370w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2019\/07\/edit5-770x433.png 770w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2019\/07\/edit5.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On reflection, the year has been a wonderful opportunity for me to get a taste of the industry I would like to work in.&nbsp;I have developed a lot of confidence through putting myself out there and have made so many wonderful friends and connections over this bonkers year.
