About
DesignGuide° is a resource for solopreneur designers who want to work well – and still have a life.
Kia ora, I'm Liv – a full stack designer that's been designing for over a decade – logos, brands, websites – mostly for studios before going freelance. I now work four days a week, doing work I love, for clients I choose.

I built DesignGuide° because I love discovering new tools, processes, and ways of working – and sharing them. In general the design industry tends to keep that stuff close to its chest, and I've never really understood why. Talking openly about what works, and what doesn't, makes everyone better.
So this is where I share what's working for me. I don't have it all figured out – but if you're building a solo practice and trying to make it sustainable, I hope you find something useful here.
