<p>Let’s talk about design! Design is something that so many law firm owners don't spend enough time thinking about. </p><p><br /></p><p>➡️ What does your design say about your company? </p><p>➡️ Should you create a brand book for your firm? </p><p>➡️ What are some design mistakes that you’ll need to avoid? </p><p>➡️ Does design really matter? </p><p>➡️ How often should you freshen up the look of your website? </p><p><br />These are some of the questions that our guest — Lauren Felter is answering today. </p><p><br />She's a design educator for non designers and a former ladder climber. She spent the first decade of her career overseeing marketing operations and technical systems for a university admissions office, while also teaching design as adjunct faculty. Then in January, 2020, after intense burnout and an identity crisis at the top, she decided to blow it all. And do it her own way.
