I've been running bridgmandesign for the last 6 years and it's teetered between a design firm and one guy freelancing. I've loved it. Sometimes. Our clients base is mostly entrepreneurial local Seattle businesses. I bounce back and forth between actually doing the design and art directing the various employees and interns I've had along the way. We've been swimming upstream to get ahead of the internet curve. One of the hardest problems has been getting high-end coding resources contracted or employed. Someday I either need to turn the business into a 10-15 person affair and just hire a great developer or I need stay small and take on a technical partner who wants to share the killer lifestyle I enjoy. Something has to be good if you're not making all that much money. For 6 years I've been telling myself I'll quit taking on the cool low paying jobs and focus on the $$$. sure. Just around the corner.
