Stop Starting From Scratch: Design Systems, Burnout, and Why Your Platform Isn't Your Price with Tiffany Pichardo of Web Designer Anthology
Tiffany Pichardo of Web Designer Anthology built something remarkable... after her nervous system crashed. After fainting in a Target on the Fourth of July and being hospitalized. After years of juggling corporate UX work, freelance web design, and two kids on 12-hour days with no margin. What she built is a complete design system for web designers so they never have to start from scratch again.
In this episode, Tiffany and Shannon dig into design systems, the Anthology Method, and why your platform (Wix, Squarespace, Showit, WordPress) has absolutely nothing to do with what you can charge. If you've ever been told your value is in your platform... this one is for you.
