When I come across a competitor to a friend's startup, I will resist the urge to send it to them. 9/10 times it is not helpful (it may even ruin their day)

I dove into the depths of Upwork to find one of my clients a freelance designer on the cheap ($50/hr).

It is mostly a pile of 💩 but if you're willing to dig, you can find some good talent.

I interviewed 12 designers/agencies, and shortlisted 3 of them that were all great fits.
