I believe that this is a pretty common mindset, and also a really healthy one. But.. and yes, there is a but. If you do not make money, you are not free to create and share the good in this world.

But, how can I use this as a designer you might ask? Well, I have some good news for you!
In this episode of Hidden By Desing we talk about the ways that business influence design, and how it is impacting the decisions you make as a designer.
