Adeniran Adebambo | Multidisciplinary Designer

Dear designer, take this advice seriously. Recently, a client hired me for a UX audit on her platform. While doing it, I realized the design itself was so faulty it didn’t just need an audit. It needed an overhaul. So I offered to redesign the platform at no additional cost. The audit fee was solid. But working on the redesign for free meant I was giving up income I could have earned. I did it anyway. A few weeks later, the designs looked far better and much closer to the client’s vision. She extended our contract. Later, she offered me a full-time role. I didn’t just do design, either. I made video ads, wrote copy, and handled whatever else the work needed. So what’s the lesson? In this AI wave, staying relevant and hired means being able to solve multiple client problems. Yes, I use AI for a lot of the tasks. But my real contribution is my eye for detail and my expertise. The AI subscription costs me nothing, because the company pays for it. So if a client needs a 3D illustration, do it. If they need a logo, do it. Be willing to do whatever the client needs, within reason, so you stay hirable. I hope this helps you.
