I started my design studio - FARE three years ago, growing to £35k MRR in two years. Here are ten lessons I learned along the way and why I'm closing it down and taking a 3-month break.

9. Don't overbook yourself. Your clients will (eventually) notice, and it's a hard hill to come back down from.

10. Be considerate. Only start this if you're passionate about it. A design studio may look like easy money now, but it's more important to keep your passion alive. Mine disappeared whilst running FARE and I hope I can use this break to bring it back.

Huge congrats to two friends @mattvagni and @Petr_ie on all their amazing announcements today. A hugely talented team with only big things in their future.
Today’s a big day for us, with not one but five announcements: Firstly, we're announcing our $6m Seed fundraise co-led by @IndexVentures and @Connect_V, alongside some incredible angels. 👇 journal.plain.com/posts/2022… and a great write-up on Techcrunch: techcrunch.com/2022/11/09/pl…

Whoever at @Google is responsible for this deserves a raise.
For good reason, politics has dominated the news here in the UK. And if you’ve not seen what’s happening in Iran, this video goes through it. It’s a remarkable story.
