There’s conventional wisdom around finding the right audience, the right client base. We hear "just be yourself" or "co-create with your clients" so much, it's platitudes. What does this mean, day-to-day? What decisions might one make over the years to hone in on the right client? And what does the right client even mean? How might we improve our understanding? We explore how Christine cultivates her creative voice and markets herself. She's continually sharpening her focus and evolving as an artist.
