Good ideas & good conversation. I agree with Chris - this format is a lot more interesting than an interview transcript. And hooray for positivity! My recent post Moving On

Nice interview. It's especially great to see a video instead of just a transcript from an email you sent. It adds a lot of personality to it all. Great job Niki and Liz! My recent post How to Build Web Cred as a Designer

I enjoyed this interview because I'm a fan of the both of you! I can see what people might think the Clients From Hell site is back, but I didn't think of it as negative. Nightmare clients are great learning experiences, and without them, I wouldn't know half of what I do today. In the same breath, for me, it's nice knowing that other people experience these same types of clients. I have a huge problem with looking at another designer or firm I respect and getting the "grass is greener" syndrome. I think, "Oh man… they are so great. They must have it made. Look at their portfolio! All their clients are awesome!" It's so easy to get jaded or compare yourself to others. So for me—the Clients From Hell site was a reality check. I felt better knowing that other people go through the same things. Sounds silly, but it's true! And hell, poking fun of something bad is my style…
