Hey there,
If you are listing out the new software or technical workflows you want to master in 2026, I want you to pause for a second.
There is a myth in our industry that the best artist is the one with the most complex technical skills.
For over a decade, I believed this too. I poured my soul into shading and modeling, thinking that was my career insurance.
I was wrong.
The reason clients kept hiring me (and paying me premium rates) wasn't my topology.
It was something entirely human that no algorithm can replicate.
In my latest video, I’m breaking down The Trust Framework.
I explain why clients actually hire us, and the three pillars you need to master to become indispensable:
The Creative Partner: Why you need to stop being just an "order taker."
The Reliable Communicator: Why "silence" is a producer's worst nightmare.
The Keeper of the Vision: The artistic judgment that AI simply doesn't have.
If you want to future-proof your freelance business this year, this video is for you.
Here’s to a strong start in 2026.
