itโ€™s good to think about what niches allow for enough variety and creative exploration to keep you interested for a long time.

What types of clients approach you?

For example, if you are often approached by childrenโ€™s brands like the following designer, consider filling your portfolio with the kind of designs that work

for childrenโ€™s book illustrations, apparel patterns, branding etc. This will allow you to keep your portfolio diverse while making the most out of a particular

client base.
