In this episode, I chat with creative consultant Rachel Waring about how you can become the Art Director of your own brand as a small or creative business owner. Rachel works with small business owners to find the perfect balance of creativity and strategy in their brands, and today, she shares tips on shifting your mindset to look at the bigger picture and take aligned actions toward your creative business goals.
