In this episode I sit down with Elsa Amri (‪@ElsaAmriDesigns‬) to talk about doing both design and development, freelancing, and building a global career. We go through how she sees the design process, why community matters, and how mentorship can push your skills forward.

We also talk about the differences between agency work and solo projects, what it takes to find your own style, and how social media can open doors when you’re starting out. Elsa shares how she approaches client work, why she still enjoys building in Webflow, and what helps her stay consistent.

If you’re a designer or Webflow developer trying to grow, balance both skills, or find your direction, this conversation will give you a lot to think about.
