Instagram and TikTok are your free advertising. Post before-and-after photos of your projects. Share a time-lapse of you rearranging a bookshelf. Talk about your favorite paint colors like a sommelier tasting wine: “This Sherwin-Williams ‘Agreeable Gray’? Chef’s kiss.”
Engage with other designers, leave kind comments, and use hashtags like #NoDegreeDesigner. People love an underdog story. And guess what? You’re the underdog with the cash to show for it.
