It sounds like having to be so adaptive can be a challenge, but a rewarding one at that!The Peak of Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811933436075145329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-8515616040009189462012-03-05T08:59:30.178-05:002012-03-05T08:59:30.178-05:00Yes,

I think the USA has a population of 260 million, (correct me if I am wrong) and Australia only 20 or so million. The pie in Aus is definitely not as big. You need to be very adaptive to each and every new client, its almost makes you want to cry sometimes and at times is exhausting. I really think every designer has there own true style but I have come to realise a really good designer can see the beauty in many styles. Everyday I learn something new and after 12 years as an Australian designer dont think I will ever stop learning and wanting to better my adapting signture style.<br />Thanks for the great blog post.<br />Warm wishes,<br />Daryl WarkDaryl Warkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05587861922391075363noreply@blogger.com
