I'm not a designer (but a mostly-backend software developer), I'm not freelancing (and never have been) but I have always admired design and typography — simplified — from a distance.

I ran into videos involving Chris Do of The Futur (no trailing e) the other day and found multiple to be rather sharp and interesting.

The one I'd like to highlight right now is this:

How To Charge More For A Logo— Deep Dive ep. 4 w/ co-host Melinda Livsey

There is a specific playlist The Futur: Melinda Livsey for more like that.
