"Can you just draw something simple?" — and before you know it, you're spending 20 hours on revisions, all unpaid. 😭 It’s tough when people still don’t fully appreciate that creative work takes time, effort, and skill. In SG, it often feels like there’s this misconception that arts and design aren’t "real jobs." I feel bad towards my creative team. Fellow creatives, how do you go about pricing your work fairly without feeling guilty or like you’re overcharging?
