Over five years Chris interviewed hundreds of designers for his mobile app studio and hired dozens. He is an Adobe Certified Instructor with more than 300,000 students. Adobe commissioned two official courses from him, and he designed the granola packaging that put his own food brand onto shelves across Romania. He has sat in both chairs.

Inside:

• The words you need: moodboard, wireframe, raster versus vector, style guide, handoff
• Why there is no such thing as a designer, and what to actually look for
• Whether you need one at all, or Canva, AI and a template will do
• Where to find them, how to read a portfolio, what the first call covers
• Money: say your range out loud, who pays for what, what happens when it runs long
• Who is allowed to approve the work, how to write the brief, which assets to hand over
• Feedback, not immediately and not area by area. Speak in qualities. Classic or modern. Playful or sophisticated
• How many rounds are reasonable, why you should not ask your neighbour, and how to end a project cleanly
