Customer Reviews
A must listen!
Great content, straightforward, no nonsense. Love it.
That Laugh Tho
The host is clearly knowledgeable on design, business, and building confidence. I really wanted to like this show, but she’s got this awkward laugh/half-hearted chuckle that sounds incredibly sarcastic.
It sounds like an attempt to soften her point, or seem more personable, but it sounds like nails on the chalkboard. I listened to about ten episodes, all very informative, but it the chuckle was too much for me.
Extremely Helpful
I love Design Domination! This show is extremely helpful to my creative business. I actually encourage my interns to listen to this podcast for tips and tricks about why I run my business the way that I do and how they should run their own business when the time comes. Thank you Colleen.
