When I grow up, I just want to be as good as all of the amazing designers here. 🫶✨

Day 3: of making an income with framer 3.0,
today was brand testing using Claude & my custom customization prompts. I did a basic black and white color styles to begin with, but the Agent did a good Job with the first output. next am going to try different colors maybe bold this time!
❔ Questions for those who are on the search for a freelance web designer/developer to hire: What do you hope to see in a potential hire's website? What do you NOT want to see?
Just hoping to understand the POV of the client more.
I've read some wild stories about AI chatbots going a little bit evil (low key giving "I, Robot" vibes). What chatbots are you using to guide you on Framer projects, or other design projects in general? Looking for options that aren't psycho 👀🙏
🙋♀ Posting to find my fellow graphic designers who are now pursuing web design to boost their career, or change careers entirely!
Personally, I studied graphic design in college and now I'm learning web design (outside of school) to add more skills to my toolbelt. One day I hope to be in a position where I'm doing branding and web design for small businesses.
What's your story?
I'm not super familiar with Framer (yet), but I am familiar with Figma. How can/do the two tools work together? How can I use both tools to optimize my workflow?
An old friend of mine once said "meowdy" and I want to say that to you too.
My name is Bethany Zilmer. I graduated from GCU one year ago with all kinds of knowledge on graphic design and marketing. Looking back, I wish I spent time diving deeper into web design. But now I'm using Framer to learn more and pursue my dreams (see bio). I'm enthusiastic, excited, ecstatic, etc.
If anyone has advice for an aspiring web designer, I'd love to hear it (asking for a friend). Right now, my goals are to (1) learn Framer and then (2) assemble my portfolio in Framer. Take a look at my (outdated) Adobe Portfolio sit for a (rough) idea of what I do: https://bethanybrainard.myportfolio.com/
