It is common for designers to compete for projects and for the client to select who to work with based on experience, rates and other factors. At the same time, designers must decide if the client is a good fit for them.
Red Flags and Warning Signs for Customers

If you hear any of these red flags, it certainly doesn’t mean you should automatically end the relationship. It just means you need to be careful. Use your judgment and look at the situation as a whole before making a decision.
